Re^2: utf8 change case on accented characters

Thanks, ikegami

I will do the utf8::upgrade and downgrade thing and see where that puts me.

Yes, I do mean use utf8; although my code file has no BOM, it still seems to work.

I'm so used to using setlocale on perl on our linux servers that I never even thought about why setlocale was available. Importing the module is always a good thing when it's not there by default.

Again, many thanks, and I'll report the results with code samples for the benefit of future googlers and perl monastery residents alike...

Yes, I do mean use utf8; although my code file has no BOM, it still seems to work. Byte order is immutable with UTF-8, so the BOM is useless as a BOM with UTF-8. Some applications use it as a signal that the file is encoded using UTF-8, but Perl uses `use utf8;` for that. I'll report the results with code samples By the way, I added an example to my earlier post. If you're having problems, please use Devel::Peek and provide us a `Dump` of the string that's giving you problems.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
