Re: Mugged by UTF8, this CANNOT be right

So on the lighter side of things...

What do you Monks think would be easier?

1) A simple solution to this issue?
or
2) Convince the world to give up their accents and adopt ASCII ;)

At least now I don't feel like too much of a moron for not being able to figure this out.

You didn't provide any information on the bug (just your workaround for it). If you want us to help resolve your problem, you'll need to at least describe it to us. For starters, what output do you get and what output do you expect? It's best if you avoid "non-ASCII" characters by using tools that escape these (Data::Dumper with `$Data::Dumper::Useqq=1;`, `od` command line tool, etc)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Probably 2), as there is no simple solution to the issue ;)	[reply]

I would start with a simple description of the issue. Pretend I've read this thread twice and I'm still confused, then explain it like you're reporting a bug and I'm 2yo :)	[reply]
