Re: wide character warning!

Hi, and welcome to the monastery.

If you add "use diagnostics;" in addition to your "use 5.018;" Perl will give you a helpful error with a solution:

binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';

Although another choice if you want to configure all of Perl's Unicode options is the utf8::all module.

Just a Note: `":utf8" only marks the data as UTF-8 without checking whether the data is a valid UTF-8, meanwhile ":encoding(UTF-8)" checks that the data are actually valid UTF-8.` So, I will rather write: `binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(utf8)");` [download] If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l]
