Hey Postulant,

Thatīs exactly the problem! Thanks a lot! I do use a specific locale. I had already managed to clean the $string out, with a pattern that didnīt have the \w and didnīt know why I succeeded. Thatīs it.

By the way, Iīve found a simpler way to test if a variable is tainted, without having to use any extra module: 


if ( is_tainted($input) ) { die "tainted"; } else { die "not tainted";
+ }

sub is_tainted {
   return ! eval { 
       join('',@_), kill 0; 
       1;     
   };
}

Thank you all!

Take Care
