Re^2: Unicode UTF16 - Unknown encoding error

[Anonymous Monk]

I'm using following module for the conversion. use Encode; I'm unable to paste my input file here. I would like to give some more information: If i open the input file in the word (Confirm conversion at over - enabled). It is opening under 'Unicode' mode. If open the same file in notepad, wordpad and few text editor(UltraEdit), it is giving proper output. If i open this in other text editor (Epsilon, Emacs), it is showing junk characters.

Yes, but what are you using to convert your Perl script to an .exe? PAR, PerlApp, something else? That's going to be where your problem is by the sounds of it.

I'm using PerlAPP 5.2.0.

OK, I'm not that familiar with PerlApp, but it looks like you may need to explicitly tell it to include Encode - something like:

perlapp myscript.pl --add Encode

You may also need to add Encode::Unicode (and possibly others) if Encode delegates its Unicode-handling to more specific modules (as I suspect it might).
