Re: One bird, two Unicode names

You could upgrade or downgrade all strings before comparing them. Note that downgrading isn't going to work if they contain characters with code points exceeding 256 - but then such strings don't have LATIN-1 equivalents anyway.

See utf8; (But if you go this way, don't put a use utf8; in your code).

I tried utf8::downgrade with FAIL_OK set to 1 `my $success = utf8::downgrade($string, 1); return($string);` [download] It didn't seem to do anything given `Güldenstädt’s Redstart` it returned `Güldenstädt’s Redstart` If I set FAIL_OK to 0, it died, with `Wide character in subroutine entry` [download] RichardH	[reply] [d/l] [select]
