I've used your clear description in 'Encode.html' to convert from cp1252 to utf8, using the lines:
use Encode; open (INPUT,"<:encoding(cp1252)","$in")|| die "FileOpen fail: $in $!\n"; open (OUT,">:utf8","$out") || die "FileOpen 1 failed: $out : $!\n"; The script works fine on Unix, but when I run the compiled version on PC (compiled with pp) I get the following error: "Can't locate PerlIO.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xcab4e8) .)..." The .pm is in the lib directory. The statement "push(@INC,"c:\\Perl\\lib\\PerlIO.pm");" doesn't seem to help either. Does anyone know how to solve this?
