This works in a non-rails script:

  def enconvert(text)
    conv=Encoding::Converter.new("ISO-8859-1","UTF-8",
                        :undef => :replace, :invalid => :replace)
    text.each { |ln| ln=conv.convert(ln) }
  end

but in rails I still get an error, after "converting" the same page.

SURELY SOMEONE has dealt with encoding conversion before??


ps. iconv mysteriously self-destructed on my system this morning.  It 
worked briefly, but now

require "iconv"

produces an error (so iconv is now unusable on my system until I rebuild 
ruby).  Does anyone know if Encoding::Converter uses iconv under the 
hood?
