in thread Unicode and Regexps: convert or am I missing something?

use Encode; my $string=Encode::decode('UTF-16LE',$data_from_google); $string=~/what you want/;

from_to is the wrong function to use. It converts between byte strings, but to correctly work with regexp you need character strings, so you need to use decode
