Right, "use utf8;" only affects the _script_ but not input and output. > The string is > utf8 and encode_entities fails to convert it properly. In this case I'd probably try with "use utf8::all;" or told open() about the encoding: > $ cat test.pl > #!/usr/bin/perl > use utf8; > use HTML::Entities; > > open(INPUT, "< testdata"); open(my $fh,'<:encoding(utf8)', 'testdata'); (Untested.) > "When UTF-8 becomes the standard source format, this pragma will effectively > become a no-op." > > Well, that day, if that day comes, HTML::Entities will definitely have to > deal > properly with UTF-8 first hand. :-) In my understanding, HTML::Entities doesn't have a problem with UTF-8; it's just about telling perl itself, how the data in the script or read from an external file are encoded.
