High all!
Despite my better judgment, I didn't drop the issue. I learned about the
package "Encode". Well, one of its methods is Encode->encodings(). It lists
the available ENCODINGs (and constants).
Well, look at it, the script:
use strict;
use encoding "utf8";
use Encode;
my @list = Encode->encodings();
print join("\n", @list), "\n";
__END__
Yields this pitiful list:
ascii
ascii-ctrl
iso-8859-1
null
utf-8-strict
utf8
In other words totally useless! All other recognizable encodings are
_aliases_!
I am too much of a newbie to try and add the CP_865, ISI-8859-8-I or the
CP_1255. Will one of you experts pick up the baton?
Regards,
Meir

It's a known issue with terminals, in both Windows and Linux. The
usual spiel is that
Hebrew/BiDi support will break too many tools and apps to be considered.

PowerShell (at least, version 1 of it, which I have) uses Windows
Terminal for UI (the window menu is the same as the "cmd" one). So no
joy there as well.
