$ perl -e 'use encoding "ISO-8859-2"; use open ":encoding(ISO-8859-2)"; print ord($ARGV[0]), chr(260), $ARGV[0], "\n"' Ą "\x{00a1}" does not map to iso-8859-2 at -e line 1. 260Ą\x{00a1}
I don't understand it: ord($ARGV[0]) is 260, chr(260) can be printed, yet $ARGV[0] cannot be printed? Which part of Perl performs the recoding of @ARGV here? -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
