I don't know if this will help / is related or whatever, but I did find that when processing UTF8 data in an Oracle database PERL *seemed* to corrupt the data beyond recognition : until I built it as a freestanding executable using the Perl Dev. Kit from Activestate - it then all worked fine. Hav

Philip, By "Look different" I'm not familiar with either language or script so it's hard to describe. After some digging, notepad seems to display them similarly, but PFE seems to make a mess of them. Tim   Philip Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Wed, 21 Nov 2001 16:41:46 + (GMT), in perl

Martin, Thanks - MS Mincho looks interesting. What I found, though, was that some of the punctuation doesn't appear as expected. For example a ')' appears as a centralised dot and a '\' appears as a Yen symbol. Not terribly good for writing PERL ! Also - the glyphs looked slightly different : do yo

Rui, Interesting comment - I found a curiosity with the conversion from UTF16 to UTF8 in that : a. It didn't matter whether I issued a byteswap (to exchange between little- and big-endian UTF-16) or not, it still produced the same answer for a particular file. b. One file worked fine, but for anot
