Hi!
I have read a lot of the entries and tried some of the techniques described but
still I am lost.
I have a Red Hat 8 installation with Perl 5.8.0 installed. The environment sets
Perl to use Unicode by default because I use British English as my language.
I am trying to use the £ (pound sterling) symbol in a script that produces both
TEXT and HTML the html handles the Unicode fine, all the browsers seem to work.
However, once the text file arrives on the Windowz box the Unicode £ screws
Excel.
I have tried using "use bytes;" to force all output to byte encoding and the
system still produces Unicode in the text file produced by capturing STDOUT.
From what I read the IO layer is outputting Unicode.
Can you help by suggesting a way to force a specific script to produce 'plain
text' (That bit more than ASCII) or preferably to specifically output, via the
IO layer, 'plain text' on specific occasions.
Thanks in advance
Frank
