in thread UTF8 Validity

Ah. I tried it based on this reply, in the other thread. Is there a module/regex/etc. that I can use to detect non-utf8 data in a string?

    Just try to decode something as UTF-8. If that fails, fall back to something else.

    For example:

    $foo = eval { decode("UTF-8", $foo, Encode::FB_CROAK) } || decode("CP1252", $foo);
