As far as I gleaned from working with UTF, this is right. (or in other 
words, UTF-16BE is just an alias for UTF-16), but I could be wrong.

I am not sure I understand your question, since you showed it is possible to 
get UTF-16LE, so what exactly do you want more? :)

Shouldn't then:

	binmode ($FILE, 'UTF-16LE') or die("$!");

just work?

All the best,
