"\x{feff}" does not map to cp1256, <IN> line 1. And the character
\x{feff} is displayed at the beginning of the file
FEFF is the unicode character code of the
BOM (Byte Order Mark).
You just have to ignore it (i.e skip over or remove it from the input).
(With UTF-8, the BOM has no real use (the byte order is always the
same), but on Windows the BOM is generally used to identify the file as
being unicode encoded.)

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).
