"perldoc perllocale" has a lot of info and explains everything. It depends on a lot of things including your OS, and how it is setup. (at least that is what it says, I don't know enough about it to refute it)

Hi, Alex. Try turning on Perl's locale support to help with this - add the line 'use locale;' to the top of your script. It depends on your system's locale configuration being sane, but it should solve your problem if this is so. Hope this helps, - Chris. -- $a="printf.net"; Chris Ball | chris@void.$a | www.$a | finger: chris@$a "In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
