This hack sort of shows what is going on ... I tried it on a Windows 10 "DOS" prompt session
Code: -------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Encode qw(encode decode decode_utf8); my $in_enc = 'utf-8'; my $out_enc = 'cp850'; my $testoctets = pack("C*", 0xC3, 0x84); # Upper-case A-umlaut as UTF-8 Store this script as ANSI/ASCII to show that it does not rely on being UTF-8 file # text strings:: my $text_str = decode($in_enc, $testoctets); print "Decoded by decode:$text_str:\n"; $text_str = decode_utf8($testoctets); print "Decoded by decode_utf8:$text_str:\n"; $text_str = lc $text_str; print "lc of string:$text_str:\n"; print encode($out_enc, $text_str); # should print 'รค', if lc worked as expected -------------------- >From Windows command line prompt ... chcp you will see the current code page - was cp850 on mine which matches the out_enc above ... and the script works (in that the final print out is lowercase a-umlaut then type cpcp 65001 run script again and it does not appear to work (because it is producing the output in a character set not handled by the terminal session) and change $out_enc to utf-8 and rerun the script then it should display the lower case a-umlaut Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106900
