Another Perl best practice: Always decode text upon input and encode text upon output—and always to do it explicitly. Don't leave the handling of the character encoding of the text to whatever your version of perl in your environment (locale) defaults to.
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie qw( open close );
binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Or ASCII, Latin-1, etc.
my $file = 'array.txt';
open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $file;
# ...
close $fh;
Better…
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie qw( open close );
use open qw( :encoding(UTF-8) :std ); # Or ASCII, Latin-1, etc.
my $file = 'array.txt';
open my $fh, '<', $file;
# ...
close $fh;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
