Re^2: Malformed UTF-8

Thank you for your reply. This is perl -v :

This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
[download]

(let me know if you need a -V output) $term contains 'baño'. This is the Dump for $term before the error:

SV = PVIV(0x18b8e20) at 0x1ab69c8
  REFCNT = 1
  FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,POK,pPOK)
  IV = 0
  PV = 0x2dd2ef0 "ba\303\261o"\0
  CUR = 5
  LEN = 12

Actually, this is weird, I just realized, this error occurs when they match since both $token and $term are identical (or should be at least). Hm.

Maybe your perl interpreter is buggy. Can you try running the code I posted above and see if that works? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Re^5: Malformed UTF-8 by Joost (Canon) on May 15, 2007 at 17:21 UTC
utf8::upgrade just forces the string to be utf-8 (otherwise it'll probably latin-1 - i.e. 1-byte encoding) in an attempt to match your problem. Since it doesn't reproduce the warning/error you're reporting I must have missed something. I note there are 2 variables in your code. Are you SURE the problem arises when both variables are "baño" AND are both utf-8 encoded? In other words, check the Devel::Peek::Dump output from both variables.
