Hi Jenda.

I've been trying to write very simple code to munge wordlists in multiple languages, and I always run up against the problem that accented characters are not recognised. For example, I'm now trying to use Google APIs to query these wordlists using a Perl script. You can see the code at this node. It works fine for [a-z] but [αινσϊρό] etc. return a 500 Internal Server Error.

Previously, I'd had the same problem using regexes, and you can see the code here.

Is it really this difficult to get Perl to process other character encoding, or is it just me?

Thanks for your help :)

Best,
doonyakka

Update: this particular problem solved, with the very kind help of dree. The problem was not with the code, but with Soap::Lite v0.52. dree had Soap::Lite v0.46 and had no problems running the program, and when he upgraded to v0.52 it stopped working (ie., he got the dreaded 500 error). So, I installed 0.46 and hey presto! it's working fine now. Thanks dree!
