There are basically 3 lines that you'll want to be using if you're =20
going to be using unicode in your perl scripts - one for input, one =20
for output, and one for using unicode characters within the perl =20
script itself.
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; #this tells perl that =
the stdout is to be =20
encoded as utf8
open (INPUT, "<:utf8", $ARGV[0]); #this tells perl that the input =20=
file is encoded as utf8
use utf8; #this tells perl that there are =
unicode characters =20
inside the .pl file
so for what you're talking about, you only need to include that line =20
at the beginning of a program, but you might find it helpful to have =20
the other 2, for future reference.
