in reply to length() miscounting UTF8 characters?

The open pragma is documented to affect open() and similar ops within its lexical scope, but you aren't using open; you're using <> to read the already-opened magic ARGV filehandle.

    My tests show that ARGV is affected if you call the script with a file name parameter, but it's not affected if you use it to read data from the standard input.

    Thank you for your reply, and good to know! This already came up a little further up; it turns out that there is a way to make the open pragma apply there as well, if you know the right magic incantation. :)
