Hi,

I'm having a hard time with this subject: I'm trying to tranform a string that might contain accented or other special character(like á, ì, ç, etc.) but without any luck. I've tryed using Unicode::Normalize

use Unicode::Normalize;
use Encode;
$str = "áçò";
$string = decode("ISO-8859-1", $str); #windows-1250
$string = NFD($string);
$string =~ s/\pM//og;

[download]

It works in my laptop, but not in my webserver. I've installed the module (I got no error). In the substitution of "porto de mós", for instance, I get "porto de mas". The accented characters are always substituted by an "a"... Any ideas? I've also tryed Text::Unidecode. But I get even weirder characters...

Kind regards, Kepler
