Hello.

I am reading a .docx file in Russian. The code $text =~ s/^Испытательная(.*?)/\1/ug; is supposed to process a line by removing part of the text. If the text is written in English, everything is detected and trimmed correctly, but I cannot get it to work with Russian text. In the console, instead of Russian text, I see garbled characters. I've been dancing around encodings — utf8, utf16, cp1251, cp1252 — but none of them give the desired result. Apparently, I am doing something wrong.

Important! When the text is written to a text file from the Word document, it displays correctly.

I would appreciate your help. Thank you. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Enum;
use utf8;
use strict;

my $text;
my $paragraph;

my $document = Win32::OLE -> GetObject($ARGV[1]);
open (FH,">$ARGV[0]") || die "Can't open file: $!\n";

my $paragraphs = $document->Paragraphs();
my $enumerate = new Win32::OLE::Enum($paragraphs);
while(defined($paragraph = $enumerate->Next()))
{
    $text = $paragraph->{Range}->{Text};
    $text =~ s/^Испытат&#107
+7;льная(.*?)/\1/ug;
    $text =~ s/[\n\r]//g;
    print FH "$text\n";
}
