Thanks. Both Slashdot nodelet and HackerNews nodelet are rendering without content. I'll keep monitoring.

    Thanks. I hadn't done the character conversion correctly. I needed s/\x{2016}/.../. There were three other characters I found in recent feed as well: 2019, 201C, and 201D. If you see any others needing to be converted, please drop me a note. Thanks!

      Maybe hit the remainder with Text::Unidecode if you don't want any UTF-8 output?

        Text::Unidecode

        Is that in the standard library? I don't have the ability to install modules on this system. (Maybe Corion can do it.)

        And would this be all I need? i.e. will it cover the four that I've already done?

        Thanks!
