Maybe we talk past each other?
My utf8 to iso-8859-1 should do the following:
- read file into scalar
- eval decode utf8
-- if we get an error, then i simply say it's iso-8859-1 and I don't do anything
-- it we get no error, then i use the decoded string
On the other script iso-8859-1 to utf8, I wanna go the same way:
- read file into scalar
- eval decode iso-8859-1
-- if we get an error, then i simply say it's utf8 and I don't do anything
-- it we get no error, then i use the decoded string
Now I expect we get an eval decode iso-8859-1 error if the input file is utf8, but I don't. | [reply] |

Okay. So perl works internal using single-byte code?
But why does eval decode iso-8859-1 don't throw an error if the input file is utf8?
