I cannot repeat your problem. However, please see if no locale doesn't help. Please also study perlunicode; someone else may have a better answer.
Works for me:
$ perl -le 'print "hello\253there"' | perl -pe 'tr/\253//d'
hellothere

$_="Canciones\\251STAMPID\\253\\277De quien es la cancion \"STAND BY M
+E\"*4 the cause";
s/\\[0-9][0-9][0-9]//g;
print;

Thanks for the help!
Actually, the above doesn't work, because '\251' (and all the other similarily structured codes) were being interpreted by perl as A SINGLE CHARACTER. Which is weird.
However, it turns out I've found a solution. The problem was that the file was not, in fact encoded in UTF-8, but was encoded in Western(ISO-8859-1).
I used xemacs to translate the page into UTF-8, and my problems more or less disappeared -- well, perl finally, grudgingly decided to recognize all the odd characters and I was able to get some useful work done!
Thanks again for the help!

could it be that my text document is DOS formatted? Perl does not seem to be recognizing the UTF codes at all. I cannot do anything to access them, and when I try to manipulate the line, most of the time I get a line like this
Malformed UTF-8 character (overflow at 0xa0c75a60, byte 0x70, after start byte 0xbf) in uc at ./qNa.pl line 15, <IN> line 25.

$a=chr(0x74);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
$a=chr(0x470);
print utf8::is_utf8($a)?"yes":"no";
the output is "noyes" ... if you can provide some more code i can give you a more specific answer | [reply]

thanks! i also tried to convert from dos2unix, but that did nothing to solve my problem :-(

In the example line I gave before:
Canciones\251STAMPID\253\277De quien es la cancion "STAND BY ME"*4 the cause
I would simply like to delete the '\253' from the line (there is more that I will eventually want to do, but if I could complete this simple action, the rest ought to be a piece of cake. my first attempt at this was:
$_ = s/\\253//g;
This failed miserably. The problem is that the '\253' is being treated as a single character (i.e., if I try to highlight just one digit, it highlights the entire 4 digit string)
I'm trying to write a c++ program to convert the codes to ASCII.
