Perl script to print non-ascii characters to the DOS console.

#The declaration "use utf8;" determines how the script source file containing it is 
#interpreted. If this declaration is used, strings within the source file will be 
#interpreted as being encoded in utf8.
use utf8;

use chilkat;

$s = new chilkat::CkString();
$s->appendUtf8("Is féidir liom gloinne a ithe. Ní dhéanann sí dochar ar bith dom.");

# Printing to the DOS console requires the OEM (DOS) code page, which is
# charset ibm850 on US and Western European computers.
print $s->getEnc("ibm850");
