One of our translations for some JavaScript code came back in the wrong encoding. Instead of being utf8, they came back as ISO8859. The Java guys had no idea how to fix it so...
perl -e 'open $fh, "<:encoding(iso88591)", "messages.js"; $/=undef; $f
+ = <$fh>; open $out, ">:utf8", "messages.js.utf8"; print $out $f;'
I don't want to know the hoops that the CPU went through to translate this file. All I know is that I didn't have to go through those hoops myself. Thanks, perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
