Hi All,<br><br>I have an issue that is plaguing me at the moment.<br>I have perl scripts that are reading in/creating string content in UTF8 encoding, and then sending that data across a socket connection (using IO::Socket::INET), in a $socket->send($string,0) format.<br>
<br>But something in that send command garbles the string so that the special characters (mainly accented characters) come out all messed up at the other end.<br>Basically, I'm thinking that the send command needs to be told to send the string in UTF8 encoding.<br>
But I do not know how to do that.<br><br>I've tried adding use encoding 'utf8'; to my script, but no good (no change).<br><br>Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks.<br>--Alex<br>
