Problem with Encoding
Hello,
I am trying to convert MacRoman encoded text to iso-8859-1. The script
below show what I am trying to do.
The input file, data.txt contains the following string:
Les lphants sont arrivs.
When I run the script, I get the following string, which is utf-8 and
not iso-8859-1, in the data2.txt file:
Les lphants sont arrivs.
I have tried adding the STDIN and STDOUT flags below, but to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Furthermore, I keep getting a warning message about wide-characters,
which makes sense, I think, because the output is UTF-8.
Many thanks.
Philippe
#!/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use encoding MacRoman; #, STDIN = MacRoman, STDOUT = iso-8859-1;
open FH, data.txt or die $!;
my $data = ;
while (FH) {
$data .= $_;
}
close FH;
open FH, data2.txt or die $!;
print FH $data;
close FH;

First of all iso-8859-1 does not contain the Euro sign. The
character set you probably intend is Windows-1252, loosely termed
Windows Latin 1 in OS X menus. Unfortunately Perl has a pretty
loose approach to charset names too, though when it says iso-8859-1
it means it and not any extended version of it.
Try this. It works here with Perl 5.8.6:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use encoding MacRoman, STDOUT = windows1252;
chdir $ENV{HOME}/temp/;
open STDIN, mac.txt or die $!;
open STDOUT, windows1252.txt;
while ( ) {
print;
}
