Tr�s sad... > You‘re right: $ piconv5.15.6 -f utf16 -t utf-8 /Users/sprout/Downloads/test.in UTF-16:Unrecognised BOM d at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.15.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm line 196, <$ifh> line 2. The file begins with <FF><FE>. If I use utf-16le explicitly, it does the first line correctly, but quickly switches to Chinese, which means it’s off by one byte. If I use utf-16be explicitly, the first line is in Chinese. This is part of the Encode distribution, for which CPAN is upstream, so I’m forwarding this to the CPAN ticket. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: new https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=107326Thread Next
