Hi, I want to determine the character encoding of some strings I have. Something similar to the "file" tool, which gives me this information:
cp1252.text: Non-ISO extended-ASCII text iso-8859-1.text: ISO-8859 text, with no line terminators macintosh.text: Non-ISO extended-ASCII text utf16.text: data utf8.text: UTF-8 Unicode text, with no line terminators I got the files, well strings, via CGI upload and I want to encode all to UTF8. Therefore I want to "use encoding..." but first I have to determine which encoding the uploaded file is. In addition I do not want to save the content to a File::Temp to run "file" on it. Is there a solution in pure perl for this problem? http://search.cpan.org/~cwest/ppt-0.14/bin/file is the best thing I found so far, but it only showes me this: # ./file * cp1252.txt: text iso-8859-1.text: text macintosh.text: text utf16.text: data utf8.text: text -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
