How do I get a proper conversion from iso-8859-1 to perl's internal utf8?
Hello,
You may use Encode module's decode function to do this conversion.
ie,for this string which was 'gb2312' format,
$str = "中文";
We use decode to convert it to perl's internal utf8,
$str2 = decode('gb2312',$str);
But you can't see this $str2 since it's perl's internal encode
format.So you need to convert it to corresponding output format,like,
$output = encode('utf8',$str2);
then print it out,
print $output;
The whole things can be written one line,
$ perl -MEncode -e '$out=encode("utf8",decode("gb2312","中文"));print $out'
That would get the correct result you wanted (output with utf8).
Hope this helps.
