Thanks for correction and formatting advice; I wrote the post in a hurry but have tidied it a bit today. This is a list of problems that arose in the real world that, regrettably, I find myself inhabiting; Information comes into my programs from all manner of different places and in some, I can assure you that the open command crashed until I used I first converted the filename viz: my $utf8filename = encode('utf8', $payfile);. Perhaps there was a better way, but sometimes you just need to kill the obscure error expediently.

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).
