in reply to Using Unicode In Perl

How to ask questions the smart way. What operating system? What "letter" or character? What message? What do you think wrote the message? Reinstall what component?

    Sorry about that :). OS: SuSE Linux; character: anything beyond the standers ISO charset; message: Character x is too wide; What do I think wrote the message: I have it narrowed down to either the Perl Interpreter or I do not have my computer comfigured properly and the shell is giving me the message; component to reinstall: unicode. I was hoping that by posting my message I could get some advice as to whether I'm writing my code incorrectly, or I have not configured my computer to work with unicode properly. I am in a situation where I need to write a script that uses characters that are not within the standard charset, and I assumed that, for my purposes, using unicode would be slightly more efficient that downloading a font with those characters and switching between the two :). Thanks for your help :), sorry I didn't have enough info :).
