I have found that working with Windows 2000 system files, that MS uses
UTF-16. Try the following.
use Encode;
if (open(my $FH, "<:encoding(UTF-16)", $file)){
# Do stuff...
close $FH;
}

Subject: Win32 Unicode => ASCII ?
After several years of churning through massive amounts of ASCII with
Perl,
I've ran into a stone wall when I tried to parse a exported text file
from
System Information on my Win XP box. Evidently it defaults to Unicode,
which I've cheerfully ignored the last few years.
I'm using AS v5.8.3, but my head is swimming after trying to noodle
through
the available documentation on Unicode. Does some kind soul have an
example of how to open and parse a Unicode file? I haven't been so
thoroughly stumped on a Perl problem in ages, and I've gotten no where
in
everything I've tried.
