Re^9: Seeking Perl docs about how UTF8 flag propagates (Terminology)by LanX (Saint) |

One major problem is - as usual -that various perldocs were written by different authors each using another set of terminology.
We can use a bit operation on strings and so called the "utf8-flag" shouldn't matter at all, because the text-interpretation of the data is irrelevant. Much of the confusion in this thread is due to terminology. And when I read canonical sources like the following it's messy: Those perldocs are only the tip of the iceberg, because various other operator specific docs build on their terminology (or not)I wonder if the authors would be able to talk to each other.
