Latin Chars and link() problem

Hello All,

I'm having a hard time using the function link() to link files to folders =

with latin characters. I don't know how many of you will read the following =

lines correctly (being able to see the latin character) but in case you not=
e =

something weird, the latin character is the equivalent to "ó" in HTM=
L =

(accented 'o'):

link('./compilaci=F3n/file.txt', './compilaci=F3n 2/file.txt') or die $!;

Both folders exist. If i change the accented 'o' to a regular 'o' in both =

folders, i get no errors, but using the accented 'o', i get the following =

error:

Invalid argument at test.pl line 1

I'm automating some tasks over very large amounts of files and i cannot jus=
t =

change the folder names. Also, some files can contain latin characters too. =

The operating system in the server is Windows 2003 Server in Spanish and, a=
s =

long as i can recall, this is the very first time i see this kind of error =

with perl, which is really strange since this is not the first time i work =

with files and i have more than 5 years writting scripts to manage files an=
d =

folders.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? If so, any help will be highly =

appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and advice.


Best regards,

Paco Zarabozo

Re: Latin Chars and link() problem

Hello Miguel Angelo,

The link() function is compatible with windows. It actually links a file, =

meaning that modifying one of them, both are modified like one single file. =

It works perfectly except for this thing with latin chararcters.

I've been researching on the issue and it seems that since perl 5.8.1 perl =

uses unicode and several things are affected by that.

I found a workarround to this problem. Adding the following line at the =

beggining of the script solves the issue:

######################
use encoding 'latin3';
######################

However, i've read that you can skip the need of putting that line in all o=
f =

your scripts if you set correctly Perl's locals. Unfortunately, i'm still =

not sure of how to do that or where to do it.

Guys, if some of you know how to set locals in Perl installation, i'll =

really appreciate some guidelines to do it myself.

Thanks in advance,

Paco Zarabozo

Hi Paco,

I was finding your unlink thing strange since it has always work for
me since perl 5.6.1 and Windows NT4...

But then i notice you where refering to the link function... i wonder
if THAT function is compatible with windows ! i have yet to find
something to say yes or no to that compatibility question !

But what exactly are you trying to do ? rename a file ?

Re: Latin Chars and link() problem

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your answer. I tried your suggestion and i got a lot of extra =

warnings. However, it helped me by pointing me in a better direction on how =

to research for the solution. I've found that the following line instead of =

the one you suggested solves the issue:

##################
use encoding 'latin3';
##################

However, it seems like there's a better way to solve it by modifying Perl's =

locals, which i still don't know how or where to do. I'm on that now but, i=
f =

you know something about it, please let me know. :-)

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Paco Zarabozo

Hi Paco

Not sure if this will work, but try adding

use utf8;

at the top of your script (after #!/usr/bin/perl line).

Cheers
