Re^5: Unicode character handling with Net::Telnet::Cisco

Then the string didn't contain what you said it did. decode_utf8 does character decoding, not JavaScript-ish string literal parsing.

>perl -MEncode -E"$_=decode_utf8('\u0000\r\n'); say; s/\0//g; say"
\u0000\r\n
\u0000\r\n

Yes, you are correct, that's probably why I was confused and having a hard time with it as well. I didn't have visibility into what the string was....from the bug report/customer site it seems the null value was later being converted into that string. Thank you for your help though!!! I appreciate you taking your time to help me out and guide me!	[reply]
