Re^4: By the shine on my bald pate, I dislike this encoding stuff

Thank you. I had no idea. That does work for the files that are ANSI. Most bizarrely,

my @LINES = <ORDERFILE>;
my $filedata = join '',@LINES;
[download]

works but the following does not + I get loads of warnings: "utf8 "\xA3" does not map to Unicode"

my $filedata = <ORDERFILE>;
[download]

`my $filedata = <ORDERFILE>;` That only reads the first line of the file. poj	[reply] [d/l]
