[error] Can't call method "to8" without a package or object reference at /usr/lib/perl5/tengsl/raun.pm line 2225.\n

jonb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi
I don't quite understand this error, I'm using this:

use Unicode::Map();
use Unicode::String qw(utf8 utf16);
use Config::INI::Simple;
our $conf = new Config::INI::Simple;
# Read the config file.
$conf->read ("/usr/lib/perl5/tengsl/tengsl_en.ini");
my $CHARSET = $conf->{ANNAD}->{CHARSET};
my $Map = new Unicode::Map($CHARSET);
[download]

#lots of code....then

return (utf8_to_latin($nafn_fyrirt));

sub utf8_to_latin { $Map->to8(utf8($_[0])->utf16); }
[download]

Can someone help ?

You're not checking the return value from `Unicode::Map->new($CHARSET)`. Try `my $Map = Unicode::Map->new($CHARSET) or die "Couldn't load Unicode map for '$CHARSET'";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
