Thank you 1nickt. Of course, you can use that paragraph for Perl advertising and everything else from my posts.

It was my real experience and I should add more: I am 57 years old now, I do have education in electronics, but it was long ago and I never worked in that field professionally. Maybe helped because I had a good approach to learn and practice Perl, through examples and many different tasks I've set to myself. When I have to realize my ideas I always divide task into many small parts, check everything, put counters in loops, print counters etc.

Last winter, after finishing two Linux trainings I've asked my Linux teacher about a problem I could not resolve through bash scripting. He mentioned perl, pyhton, and ruby, but he wasn't so found of Perl. Somehow, I choose perl, although, I must admit, I didn't find many recommendations on the web. But as a very beginner I eventually wrote scripts for LZW encoding and decoding in Perl, not using modules. Of course, I've used some elements of the code from the web and did maybe a hundred different small examples and tests, but at the end I was successful. In that time, modules were too complicated to me, so I decided to go by my own foot. What was also surprising to me that I've understood with Perl I can do many things for myself that I never expected before I would even try.

Regarding that my script for converting, I will send it in my next post. Should that be in a new node?

p.s. to check are Cyrilic letters visible, just few љ, ц,п,ж,Ђ

In the text are visibe but in code not, should show: $lj = "љ"; 

 use utf8;
binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");
use open ':encoding(utf8)'; # input/output default encoding will be
                                # UTF-8
elsif (($str_char eq "l") && ($next eq "j")){
$lj = "љ";
