Hello Monks,

My problem may be quite simple.
I applied the following test script to the perl module:
‘Locale- Hebrew-1.04’, http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Locale-Hebrew-1.04/Hebrew.pm

Is something missing or obviously wrong?
Are there any clues in the output, i.e. only the numbers(\5e9\5dc\5d5\5dd\20\31\32\33 = \ם\ו\ל\ש\space\1\2\3) compute?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

#
# This program demonstrates Locale::Hebrew v1.04 support for UNICODE
# (use Perl 5.8 and above)

 
use Locale::Hebrew 1.04;
use locale;

 
          eval ('

         use 5.8.3;
         use encoding utf8;

         my $msg= "\x{5e9}\x{5dc}\x{5d5}\x{5dd}\x20\x31\x32\x33";

         print "Original   utf8: ",$msg, "\n";

         my    $new_msg = hebrewflip($msg);

         print "Result     utf8: ","$new_msg", "\n"; 
          ');

 print $@ if $@;

-------------------------------

Output:

Original   utf8: �©���

                      Result     utf8: 123 ��©

*actually, my output presents an empty square in place of "&65533", which, if written correctly comes out here as "�" (interesting?)

Much thanks for any guidance
