Wide character in syswrite at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Net/Cmd.pm line 430

[vbkal]

Hello,

Does anyone know what this message means?

I've tried to find where it happens in my code (code processes html files) and I think the error happens on the line with the following information :
$minutes = `cat $abs_path/$link`;

It sometimes processes some html pages without troubles and on other pages my script is terminated with this error.

Anyone any idea as to how I can fix this?
thx in advance,
kalliet

Sorry if this is a "stupid" question,
but is it right if I tried :

I've put
use open IN => ':raw';
at the BEGINNING of my script. (where all the "Use ... " are located)
No change

I've also tried putting :
use open IN => ':locale';
and
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8" ;
binmode STDIN, ":utf8";

Both no change.
Am I putting it on the wrong location?

thx in advance

Hello,

Still looking for a fix to my problem. I've now narrowed the problem down to this line. Previous thougth of were it went wrong, was not correct .

my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($content);
my $formatter = HTML::FormatText->new();
my $textcontent = $formatter->format($tree);

If I set "print $content", then I get a print without problems.
If I set "print $textcontent", then I get the "Wide character in print at that line. (and I see a few weird characters)

Anyone any suggestions as to how the $textcontent is not valid?
