Re: Unexpected interaction between decode

Update: removing the -w flag from your shebang line fixes the problem.

I cannot say what the issue is that is triggered by it, but in general you should not use -w in your program as it turns on all warnings in all code pulled into it. To limit to your own code, use use warnings; instead.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I can't reproduce your results on my system.
$ perl 1203368.pl édition limitée. édition limitée.

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-li +nux

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

I tried removing -w just now, and got the same output: édition limitée. Édition limitée. I'm not sure why -w would affect the behavior of decode_entities() or lc() (other than maybe printing warnings). I wasn't getting any warnings one way or the other; just unexpected output.	[reply]

I'm not sure either. But strange things like that do happen. More info: What's wrong with -w and $^W from the Perl documentation. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]
