    <p>Outside data sources are tricky in Perl. For command-line arguments, you're probably getting them as the encoding specified in your locale. Don't rely on your locale to be the same as someone else who might run your program.</p> <p>You have to find out what that is then convert to Perl's internal format. Fortunately, it's not that hard.</p> <p>The <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/I18N::Langinfo" rel="noreferrer">I18N::Langinfo</a> module has the stuff you need to get the encoding:</p> <pre><code> use I18N::Langinfo qw(langinfo CODESET); my $codeset = langinfo(CODESET); </code></pre> <p>Once you know the encoding, you can decode them to Perl strings:</p> <pre><code> use Encode qw(decode); @ARGV = map { decode $codeset, $_ } @ARGV; </code></pre> <p>Although Perl encodes internal strings as UTF-8, you shouldn't ever think or know about that. You just decode whatever you get, which turns it into Perl's internal representation for you. Trust that Perl will handle everything else. When you need to store the data, ensure that you use the encoding you like.</p> <p>If you know that your setup is UTF-8 and the terminal will give you the command-line arguments as UTF-8, you can use the <code>A</code> option with Perl's <code>-C</code> switch. This tells your program to assume the arguments are encoded as UTF-8:</p> <pre><code>% perl -CA program </code></pre> <p>You also get that with just <code>-C</code>, which turns on several other Unicode options:</p> <pre><code>% perl -C program </code></pre> <p>I find "if you know" to be a big red flag that really means "we're not sure", however.</p>

    1. COMy problem with this answer is that I18N::Langinfo is not available on Win32 (even though it is in corelist!).

    2. COMy perl (5.18.0, Mac OS X 10.8) is returning US-ASCII in $codeset, even though my terminal is set to unicode(UTF-8). The decode() works if I set $codeset to UTF-8 manually.

    3. COThis returns `UTF-8` for me with v5.18 and X.8: `$ perl5.18.0 -MI18N::Langinfo=langinfo,CODESET -E 'say langinfo( CODESET )'`. Are you sure you have things setup correctly?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.
