ansi & perl

[Paolo Carta]

Hello, I don't you to loose your time, but I start to learn Perl for my own about 6/7 days ago, and now I've got a problem to submit to you:      I tried to read a name of a directory or a file in Windows to reporting      them in a XML file using utf8 or ISO8859 encoding and when I find a char      like è/à/ò/é or similar the Perl's reading make a mistake like that:      If the name complete of the file is "febbraiò.jpg" the result is that one:   Name: febbrai≥ Ext: jpg febbrai≥.jpg                          The question is: which kind of encoding is that ?              Can I resolve this problem and How ?? Thank you so much.     Paolo Carta
