This is an example program where "use utf8;" makes a difference:
use utf8;
$igår = '2009-02-24';
print "Yesterday: $igår\n";
("igår" is Swedish for "yesterday")
Well I have tried the scripts from the 2 messages, but I must admit that
I don't understand what I should look for.
Both of them print the same thing, no matter if I use "use utf8;" or
not....
$ cat test1.pl
$igår = '2009-02-24';
print "Yesterday: $igår\n";
$ cat test2.pl
use utf8;
$igår = '2009-02-24';
print "Yesterday: $igår\n";
$ perl test1.pl
Unrecognized character \xC3 in column 4 at test1.pl line 1.
$ perl test2.pl
Yesterday: 2009-02-24
$
The variable name, which actually is $igår, is UTF-8 encoded in the
scripts. Enabling the utf8 pragma makes Perl allow that.
