Dumping Unicode values into ascii text

[VAN D. W. <Wim...@eu...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to fetch values that are unicode(latin1) encoded, and dump =
them into a csv textfile.
I uploaded them myself, and I'm surprised at how difficult I find it to =
retrieve them again :o)

The value I'm interested holds a "=E9". I uploaded in like this :=20

my $u=3DUnicode::String::latin1($site);

and then used $u as the value of the attribute to be uploaded.=20
This worked perfect and the values are perfectly readable with an ldap =
browser or the console (we're using iplanet DS here)

Now the question is, how can I get it back in it's original format?
The original word was Br=E9tigny; the way it's stored now is =
Br=C3=A9tigny.
It tried using
$site =3D Unicode::String::latin1("$u")->utf8
and=20
$site =3D Unicode::String::utf8("$u")
and other combinations, but the problem is I don't even know to what =
specific format I have to decode the Unicode to...

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
