Hello, thanks for the reply

It has to be ISO-8859-1, or Latin-1. I don't have any Asian Characters in it.

The second point mention could be true I guess. Think i'll have to do more digging into that. Hope i'll find something this way, although I thought I'm doing it the right way, I might easily be wrong.

I've been using hexdump and calculated to octal, didn't know about od.. you never stop learning.

thanks for your reply, i'll get working on Text::Iconv.

Edit:
Here's a sample output, i quickly hacked in..:

Before Conversion: Live Fußball: Bundesliga, 3. Spieltag
After Conversion: Live Fußball: Bundesliga, 3. Spieltag

dumped it to a file, checked it with od and hexdump, but it looks correct.. still in the dB it appears as in Bevore Conversion.

• 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).
