Sorry, my bad! Well, that makes the terminal the main suspect. Maybe pipe to something akin to xxd on Windows, or perl -ne'printf "%02x ",ord $_ for split//' to further diagnose? | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] |
I'm running on Windows XP if that makes a difference? As you can see from the output it is having trouble finding the upside down equivalent to the T, E, P, R, L, D, N. I have posted pictures here: Click Here to see the exact output.

Text::UpsideDown is dead simple in this respect, it just replaces each ASCII character (except for symmetrical ones like H or I) with a corresponding Unicode character that looks like its upside-down version and returns you that string. The question marks are from your terminal. Maybe your font doesn't have the necessary characters? I don't remember how one changes the font in a Windows XP console but it should be possible to set something like Courier New that has good support for the more exotic ISO-10646 characters.
