some file containing German Umlauts are still ISO-8859-1 encoded

[pbiering]

as mostly all systems nowadays are UTF-8 ready, shouldn't the files which contain German Umlaus not be converted?

file -i * | egrep '(utf|iso)'
CREDITS:                  text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
HISTORY:                  text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
vdradmind.pl:             text/x-perl; charset=iso-8859-1

Comments?

This is also related to glenvt18/vdradmin-am#9 which has partial replacements already inside, mostly on comments, but one line is affecting the code:

-            unless ($c =~ /[<F6><E4><FC><DF><D6><C4><DC>A-Za-z0123456789_!@\$%&()+,.\-;=~ ]/) {
+            unless ($c =~ /[öäüßÖÄÜA-Za-z0123456789_!@\$%&()+,.\-;=~ ]/) {

Is there a way to change this automatically?

You have to tell the interpreter that you plan to use UTF-8 in source code.

I will take care of this after further testing
