in thread Converting Unicode

I have the third edition. As it says on its back cover:
What's new in this edition? Practically everything. This third edition of Programming Perl has not only been expanded to cover the new 5.6 release of Perl, it also has been completely reorganized and fortified with numerous examples. Most existing topics have been dramatically reworked from the ground up, like object-oriented programming and regular expressions, and many brand new chapters have been added, including those on profiling, pod, Unicode, threading, compiling, and Perl internals.

Part bible, part encyclopedia, and part almanac, this is the essential book on Perl.

Note: "Unicode" was a brand-new chapter in this edition.

Blessings,

~Polyglot~
