Re^3: UTF8 error when using Net::SFTP::Foreign

I'm trying to get this working. Not sure how to implament this but I added this just before the write statement:

utf8::downgrade( my $bytes_off = '' );
                        $bytes_off .= chr($coords) for 0..255;
                        utf8::upgrade( my $bytes_on = '' );
                        $bytes_on .= chr($coords) for 0..255;

                        # Downgrade variable on output to avoid false 
+positive.
                        utf8::downgrade( my $from_off = $bytes_off );
                        utf8::downgrade( my $from_on  = $bytes_on );
                        print("bytes are ", ($from_off eq $from_on ? '
+same' : 'diff'), "\n");

                        $sftp->write( $waytemp, $coords);

where $coords = 12,23. Now I get the error

 Thread 2 terminated abnormally: Wide character in subroutine entry at

43.pl line 1428.

that I have been hearing about.

You mean you don't get `Argument "12,23" isn't numeric in chr`? I have very low tolerance for people don't help themselves by using `use strict; use warnings;`. That code snippet you are using was used to demonstrate that `utf8::downgrade` works regardless of the internal format of a string. It's not a solution to your problem. If anything, the other snippet would be more relevant since you have text. If `$coords` had contained bytes (already encoded text or packed/binary data, etc), the solution would have been `utf8::downgrade`. Since `$coords` contains text, the solution is Encode's encode. `use Encode qw( encode ); $sftp->write( $waytemp, encode($enc, $coords) );` [download] Replace `$enc` with the encoding you desire to use.

use Encode qw( encode );
