perl decode exim4 subject in cyrrilic

Question

ive already looked at this article. Problem is like that, when im sending a letter throug exim4 and subject is with cyrrilic letters ive got something like this in maillog

T="\320\235\320\260\321\201\321\202\321\200\320\276\320\271\320\272\320\270 PHP"

instead from something normal.

Is there any function that can decode that in perl?

Answer 1

print seems to get the job done:

$ perl -e 'print "\320\235\320\260\321\201\321\202\321\200\320\276\320\271\320\272\320\270 PHP" . "\n"'

No need to go to perl though:

$ printf "\320\235\320\260\321\201\321\202\321\200\320\276\320\271\320\272\320\270 PHP\n"

use Encode::Escape;
$var1='\321\213';
         print decode 'unicode-escape', $var1;
#correct mysql view in phpmyadmin
$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:database=test', 'testuser', 'testpass', { mysql_enable_utf8 => 1});

Dont know why, but that works
