dakkar,
Firstly, thanks for the prompt reply.
Secondly, it would appear my file in question does not appear to be using UTF-8. If I open it with MS Notepad and go to save, the default file type is simply 'unicode', UTF-8 appears a seperate option in the drop-down list. So I am guessing that Notepad may use UTF-16 or UCS-2 when selecting 'Unicode' (not sure what UCS-2 is but read that notepad uses this?). Do you know how I can find out how my file is encoded? I have tried specifying UTF-16 and UCS-2 as the IO layers with the open function but I get: Can't locate PerlIO/UTF.pm

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).
