Re^4: UTF8 error when using Net::SFTP::Foreign

I'd say the flag is on "for no good reason", because the content is exactly the same as before manipulating $s (i.e. "hello"), and all characters occurring can be represented in plain ASCII.

What's gained by knowing that?

If the flag is on for no good reason, encode the text!

A third option (in addition to encoding or downgrading - as you've mentioned) could've been to simply fix the code that inadvertendly upgrades `$coords`... as those coordinates appear to be simple numbers, I wouldn't know why unicode would need to play a role at all here. That's why I got the impression that something unintentional might be going on in the OP's code...	[reply] [d/l]
