in thread Unicode::UTF8 and perl Unicode compatibility

Use Perl to walk Unicode::UTF8 thru the character sets with which you need to deal
I am not sure how to walk. What can fail? Regexps? Character classes? String comparsion? Collations? Folder case? Normalization? I am not sure what new Unicode 6 introduced.

    "...how to walk.":   loops and arrays.

    "What can fail?....":   Answering that is with domain of the research plan outlined above... or, stated more simply, 'TITS, try it to see.'

    If I've misconstrued your question or the logic needed to answer it, I offer my apologies to all those electrons which were inconvenienced by the creation of this post.
      You are talking about testing something without knowing internals and without knowing what can fail.

      If that possible, one can test whole Perl source code without understanding it's internals, without reading documentation and without doing actual work. And will find all existing perl bugs in the end.

        "...testing something without ....": That's correct. It's called a pragmatic (or "experimental") approach.

        You're asking a vastly broad question (and one whose answer could be assumed -- in a perfect world, that is -- to have been addressed in documentation, bug reports, etc. by those whose efforts go into Unicode standards and development: However, as has occasionally been the case in other contexts, 'ain't nuttin' guaranteed perfect!'

        If your latest response is an indication, you seem to be rejecting a method that puts your work back on your back. Downvoted.

        My apologies to all those electrons which were inconvenienced by the creation of this post.
