Java Perl Conversion Tool
I want a perl script that converts special characters (French, German, Italy, Denmark character set) into database compatible format and retrieves the back in the original format.
A generic functionality will be developed which converts any special characters (having > 8 bit format).
I tried using utf8 pragma.
This was little diffucuilt in understanding its implementation.
Can you please help me in writing a PERL script.

Sorry..
i read his forums and found that utf8 pragma was difficuilt to understand.
We are developing a tool that can take any language as input and do the further operations.
Also, one of my pal told this is a site where we can get solutions.

I highly recommend you read this article:

The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets

I was having the same problem a few months back, and this helped clear up some confusion for me.
