Re^2: How to convert between Unicode codepoint and UTF8 character code on Perl?

@hippo

The version of my perl is above 5.8, and hence it can surely handle Unicode. However, it does not have the Unicode module. So, `use Unicode::Char;` returns an error "Can't locate Unicode/Char.pm in @INC". Also `use Unicode;` returns an error "Can't locate Unicode.pm in @INC".

Can you modify your subroutine `to_bytes` so that it will not use the Unicode module?

Thank you.

Yes, even you can use CPAN! Alternatively, use chr to transform code point numbers into wide characters.	[reply]
