I haven't seen it, so it might have been on the hackers list. Where can I find subscription information and the archive of that list? I have found a workaround to display UTF-8 strings using Win32::GUI and Win32::GUI::AxWindow but I think it could be improved. The program saves the string in a temporary .txt file which is UTF-8 encoded, then when constructing the AxWindow object, I have used: -control => "path_to_file", so the UTF-8 string is displayed correctly in the html format. Is it possible to display the UTF-8 string directly without saving it into a temp file? I have tried different ways of encoding to UTF-8 -control => "MSHTML:..." but the string doesn't display correctly, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. Thank you. Teddy
