Hi monks. Sorry to bother again, but anytime I try to print a double quoted string, I get this "Wide character in print" message. For instance:
use utf8;
use feature 'unicode_strings';
my $string1 = "ŠIN";
my $string2 = "šin";
print "$string1 matches $string2 ? ";
print $string1 =~ /$string2/i ? 'matched' : 'no match';
The result is correct though:
ŠIN matches šin ? matcheded. Do you know why perl is assuming that wide character are in print? This in fact causes me troubles with regular expressions somwhere elese in the code: I believe that š and Š are "seen as" (sorry for the horrible terminology) �, and that is why they match in the code above.
Thanks for the help!
