ok. I tried a lot of stuff. but the one thing that actually worked, was to run
the cqperl script on the windows box itself.
it was utf8 on the linux box, I could see the text.
when i copied the file, via a samba share, or scp in cygwin, the characters
actually changed.
we don't use ftp on our servers at all, because of security reasons, so I tried
sftp. know what, I couldn't find a mode switch on sftp (binary or ascii), so I
couldn't get sftp to deal with it correctly.
so I copied over my cqperl script to windows, and it worked there. The
characters came out right.
god, I really hate to have to deal with windows in any way at all.
oh btw, if I tried to convert the file on cygwin using iconv. But by the time I
got the file over to windows the damage was already done.
