Please note that you have an asymmetry in your code: You want to encode output, but don't decode input. This is why things go all wrong, and you see Mojibake in your output.

So, whenever you read something form STDIN, also do

binmode STDIN, ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # then you can do: while (<STDIN>) { # work with $_ here }

This decodes the input. Then use utf8; to tell perl that your script is written in UTF-8 (note that ASCII is a valid subset of UTF-8).

Test that your terminal actually understands UTF-8, as described in this article, which also might be of general interest for you.

SpreadSheet::WriteExcel works correctly if you supply it with decoded text strings.

Update: clarified what I mean with the while-loop.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
