Re: How to handle UTF-8 content with Win32::IE::Mechanize

in reply to How to handle UTF-8 content with Win32::IE::Mechanize

Why not use the open pragma use open qw(:std :utf8); ORbinmode like so: binmode FILEHANDLE, LAYER. i.e

open DEBUGFILE, '>', "debug.txt" or die $!;
binmode DEBUGFILE, ":encoding(UTF-8)";

Using your OP, I don't have Win32::IE::Mechanize, installed so I used WWW::Mechanize, like so:

use WWW::Mechanize;
...
# get the DOM document
#my $doc = $mech->{agent}->Document; # comment out

# get the webpage title
my $title = $mech->title;     # used instead
...
# create a utf-8 text file
open DEBUGFILE, '>', "debug.txt" or die $!;
binmode DEBUGFILE,":encoding(UTF-8)";
...
[download]

OUTPUT:
Title:야후! 코리아
Title Length:7
Title Hex Byte String:c74c120245ca44
Hope this helps

See Re: How to handle UTF-8 content with Win32::IE::Mechanize as problem has nothing to do with STDOUT or WWW::Mechanize (an entirely different module), it is all about Win32::OLE, which isn't utf8 by default	[reply]

... And suggesting an alternative would not be wrong either. Moreover,Win32::IE::Mechanize is just Like "the mech" but with IE as user-agent. Period... If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply]

But you didn't actually suggest it as an alternative :) Mechanize doesn't support javascript, while iexplore does support javascript -- pretty much the only reason folks use iexplore when they can	[reply]
