Re^2: The module version works, but the standlone version crashes with "Malformed UTF-8 character"

The question is not why the standalone version does not work or where it doesn't work. If you delete blues/020d9511 it crashes immediately at next UTF-8 encoded file.
The question is why the standalone version does not work and the module version works without any problem, although the code is absolutely the same. What makes a module so different internally so that perl has a different interpretation in both cases? For me as a developer a particular code must always give the same result, but in this case I am really helpless.

Here I disagree. The input is malformed and a crashing program is the right thing™ here. I would not care why the other version does not crash but instead correct the input data. -jo	[reply]
