[tpm] Manipulating utf8 strings with Perl

[Antonio Sun]

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Yeah, I realized that the file is utf-16 afterward.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
However, I tried the following and it doesn't work.

$ perl -Mutf8 -pe 'binmode(STDIN,":encoding(UTF-16)");
 s/<s:Envelope/<s:Envelope xmlns:a=...>/' < myfile.utf8 > myfile.out

$ cmp myfile.utf8 myfile.out && echo same
same

Seems that the replace strings ('s:Envelope...') are not handled as wide
chars in Perl.
