lepetitalbert has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Dear Monks,
I have a problem with 'accent-characters' (èéà...) when creating a pdf with PDF::EasyPDF
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $string = "pépé"; use PDF::EasyPDF; my $pdf = PDF::EasyPDF->new({file=>"test.pdf",x=>mm(210),y=>mm(297)}); $pdf->text(mm(20),mm(297-20), $string ) $pdf->close; print $string
in the pdf the string becomes 'pépé '
I tried to add things like :
use utf8; use open ':std' => ':utf8'; utf8::encode($string);
with no luck
As this encoding stuff is not really clear in my mind I don't know where to search
I'm on linux, LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8
Any hint welcome
Have a nice day
