Perl's Unicode handling has never been clearly understood by me but I just go along with the flow. Sometimes I find myself marking strings as Unicode. Sometimes I find myself re-encoding things from Unicode to Unicode. And, sometimes I find myself validating that what Perl thinks is Unicode is really what other less liberal Unicode implementations will accept. I can say this, in any conceivable case where compromise in /support/ of non-Unicode results in more difficulty for Unicode use, I'll take the former. -- Evan Carroll - [email protected] System Lord of the Internets web: http://www.evancarroll.com ph: 281.901.0011
