Re^5: perl 5.14 regex: case insensitive match on international characters

When you open a filehandle, if you want to print non-ASCII characters to it, you must specify an encoding. STDOUT is a filehandle. Add something like this near the top of your script:

binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");

If you expect to read from STDIN, then you might want to call binmode on that too.

There's utf8::all which takes care of a lot of these gotchas.

If everyone used UTF-8 for everything, and assumed that everybody else did too, then life would be much easier.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'
