Re: filenames with ’

Yes, there are three of "these" characters. A single quote '; a backtick `, which is also a quite common and defined in ISO-8859-1 (and others). The third is included within windows charsets, bit i can't type it here, because it does not exist within ISO-8859 character sets. This should clear that mess.

#try:
print join ' | ', map ord, split //, $the_string
# or
print unpack 'H*' , $the_string
# to find out what this character looks like

Actually, true ISO-8859-1 defines no 8-bit quotes. Only the variants of it (e.g., MS and Mac character sets) do that. The ISO-8859-1 standard leaves the first 32 8-bit characters undefined. There's a better illustration here showing the characters MS added to the standard. MS changing a standard ... imagine that!	[reply]
