Re: Perl "incompatibility" with CR when using utf-8 Files

I'd consider sending a bug report off to the folding.el people. With increasing use of Unicode, this is bound to a be a problem for a lot more people in the furture. Sounds like folding.el needs a little reimplementation.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

Done so. Got some newer version, but behaviour didn´t change. Quite frankly I don't think that perl is absolutedly unguilty here. In my opinion it should be possible to accept ANY line-delimiter out of a set. Perl accepts CR or LF or both but not a mixture of these in one single file (as long as it is UTF-8 coded). Emacs does. Perl doesn´t. Emacs does... You see? Bye PetaMem	[reply]

Yes, that's true. This goes into the whole "interpreted whitespace is eeeeevil" argument. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply]

Why perl can't handle different line endings in one file?	[reply]
