how to check the encoding of a fileby jbrugger (Parson) |

jbrugger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi all, I want to check the encoding of a file, since i need to convert all my templates to utf8, but not the ones that are utf8, since they will be double encoded (using iconf) However, after supersearching i came up with the following possible solution: This is not returning anything however. for now, we started to use (opening each file and parsing it in the encoder): For the rest i did not find any other way of dertermining the encoding of a file, anyone knows what is wrong with File::BOM or does anyone have a better solution? Thanks!
