PERL cgi script... extra character driving me crazy
I'm using a PERL cgi script that uses rrdtool to make graphs. I can't get the syntax correct to use a degree sign (alt+0176 like this °) and also using a variable.
If I use single quotes, I can't call the variable. If I use double quotes, there is an extra symbol (Â) before the ° which goes away if I use double quotes without the variable.
A picture is worth 1000 words (I circled the error in pink):
Here is the relevant line of code that produces that extra letter:
Hi, I've created a script in csh that takes a file and checks it for mispelled words. Im almost done but I need to do two more things but I need help.
First, when displaying an incorrect word to the user, I need to show the line of the input file that contains the word.

event2vrule
EVENT2VRULE(1) General Commands Manual EVENT2VRULE(1)NAME
event2vrule - adds 'events' to rrdtool graphs
SYNOPSIS
event2vrule <params>
DESCRIPTION
Adding Events to Graphs
There is a new graphing feature which allows you to specify events that should be displayed in your graphs. These events are simply a list
of points in time at which something of interest occurred.
For instance, one could create a plain text file in the graphs directory called events.txt containing these lines:
2001/02/10 1538 added support for events to FlowScan graphs
2001/02/12 1601 allowed the events file to be named on make command line
Then to generate the graphs with those events included one might run:
$ make -f graphs.mf events=events.txt
This feature was implemented using a new script called event2vrule that is supplied with FlowScan. This script is meant to be used as a
``wrapper'' for running rrdtool(1), similarly to how one might run nohup(1). E.g.:
$ event2vrule -h 48 events.txt rrdtool graph -s -48h ...
That command will cause these VRULE arguments to be passed to rrdtool, at the end of the argument list:
