Perl Encode.pm cannot decode string with wide character

Question

I was running a perl app which uses /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm

and issues an error

Cannot deco

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. $enc->decode( $octets, $check ); expects octets.

So put Encode::_utf8_off($octets) before. It made it work for me.
