Thanks.  It returns the string representation of the codepage number:

  d:\usr\eli\utils\>chcp
  Active code page: 437

  d:\usr\eli\utils>perl ./print_CP.pl
  GetACP: '1252'
  GetConsoleOutputCP: '437'

  d:\usr\eli\utils\>chcp 65001
  Active code page: 65001

  d:\usr\eli\utils>perl ./print_CP.pl
  GetACP: '1252'
  GetConsoleOutputCP: '65001'

(The 'chcp' command displays or changes the console codepage.)

And yes, the system-wide codepage on this machine is 1252.  And
codepage 65001 is the UTF-8 codepage.
