Re: The Unicode Bug with Transliteration or Substitution

If you have some version of Perl running on your home machine, you can try installing Devel::PatchPerl. Then, after you expand your Perl 5.8.3 distribution but before you run Configure, cd to the expanded distribution and run patchperl. This might get you through the build, though it does not guarantee a clean test.

Thank you. I was able to install 5.8.3 after patching the sources. I even got clean tests. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in the Perl 5.8.3 I installed, though. The output was the same for both transliteration and substitution. So, it seems, our historical Perl installation is buggy. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
