I have had this problem when an app is run in a DOS command window - it ignores the 
language settings of the PC.

You may have to do some inline conversion as the command screen will only take the 
ASCII of the string sent to it.

This is quite simple to do as you can use a replace function - if you know how the 
input ascii translates to the output ascii.

Note that as you maybe converting chars that exist further up the string you may have 
to use an empty string to parse the converted
output into rather than using a $string = s/was/new/;  or string = replace(string, 
was, new) function - depending on your code
language.

A simple array with was and new should help.

Subject: First post perhaps slightly off topic, problems with danish characters in 
command application


Hello,

This is my first post to the list, I am not sure whether this is the
correct list to post to, and my post might even be slightly off topic.

I am writing some Perl scripts which are testing a set of SOAP web
services implemented in VB.NET.

My problem is that I now can send and receive danish characters using
ISO-8859-1 encoding. But when I send info to the terminal the characters
become unreadable.

This is my Perl version:

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

And this is the locale I use:

LC_COLLATE=Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_CTYPE=Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_MONETARY=
Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Danish_Denmark.12521..3

But anyhow my output in the command app end up looking like the
following:

?�?�?�?�?�?�

I hope somebody can help out :)
