Re: Numerical value of strings

Thanks, I checked the error log and I am recieving an error: "Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa0, with no preceding start byte) in addition (+) at blah.pl line 224." Anyone have an idea how that got there?

I'd guess perl 5.8.0 on a Redhat Linux box. By default, Redhat sets the locale environment variables to something like `LANG="en_US.UTF-8"` [download] Unfortunately, that makes 5.8.0 treat all streams as unicode, which is a bad choice (and corrected in the 5.8.1 release candidates). Change your profile to set LANG=en_US, and the problem should go away. If I have the OS and perl version right, that is... -- Mike	[reply] [d/l]
