Assuming that the problem occurs when you're printing to FILE, you need to add the following after you open the file: binmode(FILE, ':utf8'); I'm fairly certain that LC_ALL won't have any effect on output to a file other than STDOUT/STDERR and even still, that basically forces the terminal into 7bit mode so would exacerbate the problem. binmode(<filehandle>, ':utf8') forces I/O to/from the filehandle to be in utf8 as opposed to whatever your default encoding may be. it's been a while so I'm not positive, but you may also need/benefit from 'use utf8;' ... you should check the docs for more specific details on that one. hope this helps. alan _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
