I run the following on an ebcdic platform (perl-5.8.6), $BOM = chr(0xFEFF); open(UTF_PL, ">:raw:encoding(utf16le)", "utf.pl") or die "utf.pl($enc,$tag): $!"; print UTF_PL $BOM; print UTF_PL "1";
should the data that is written using PerlLIO_write, be "\xFF \xFE \xF1" or should it be "\xFF \xFE \x31" ? Thanks in advance, Rajarshi. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
