in thread How to sanely handle unicode in perl?

That does not work. It has the same effect as commenting out the "use open" line. Try it in an UTF-8 terminal with LC_CTYPE set properly to utf-8. The print to STDOUT corrupts the character.
karoshi:~>LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 ./u8demo.pl I read a line, that is 1 chars long. That line is: � That line in ascii is: o

    You took the locale bit out, right? Both examples from choroba and me/tchrist work in my UTF-8 terminal.

    moo@cow~>echo $LC_CTYPE
    utf-8
    moo@cow~>perl ~/pm-eg
    I read a line, that is 1 chars long.
    That line is: ö
    That line in ascii is: o
    

    Update: this works the same for me as well: setenv LC_CTYPE de_DE.UTF-8

      As said elsewhere, I've not found a way to make it work in both UTF-8 and ISO8859-1 terminals. Not looking at the locale charset to see what terminal you are on does not sound like it'll work.
