thanks, the pointer got me thinking, turns out I was loading from xml, where the encoding is utf-8, however I realised I could just convert these into utf8/latin1 perls internal data representation. Is that understanding correct? so when I use the following code things start working, if anyone has any other wisdom regarding exactly what is happening here that would be awesome. `utf8::decode($newOpMode); print length($newOpMode) . " $newOpMode ---" . length ($self->setT +heOpMode) . " " . $self->setTheOpMode."\n"; $return = 1 if ( (lc( $newOpMode )) eq "mitigate" );` [download] http://perldoc.perl.org/utf8.html http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunifaq.html	[reply] [d/l]

    utf8::decode($newOpMode);

    print length($newOpMode) . " $newOpMode ---" . length ($self->setT
+heOpMode) . " " . $self->setTheOpMode."\n";

    $return = 1 if ( (lc( $newOpMode )) eq "mitigate" );
