Re: a new example

You'll want to add:

use feature 'unicode_strings';                  
use open qw(:std :utf8);                          
use utf8;
[download]

To the top of your script to enable Unicode support.

Alternatively you could use utf8::all from CPAN which handles even more Unicode edge cases, and can be included in your script in a single line

Only the open pragma fixes the problem. There's no literal (high bit) UTF-8 character in the source code, so the utf8 pragma does nothing here, and character interpolation is, to my knowledge, unaffected by the Unicode bug, so the `unicode_strings` feature does nothing to fix the problem here either. The problem is solely the missing encoding discipline on the output filehandle.	[reply] [d/l]
