A friend and fellow Perl coder (hat tip to Roy Zimmer) alerted me to this series of talks given by Tom Christiansen at OSCON 2011: 1. Perl Unicode Essentials 2. Unicode in Perl Regexes 3. Unicode Support Shootout: The Good, The Bad, & the (mostly) Ugly http://training.perl.com/OSCON2011/index.html (resolves to http://98.245.80.27/tcpc/OSCON2011/index.html) If you weren't already aware of these, they are a treasure trove of in-depth and useful information. -- Michael # Michael Doran, Systems Librarian # University of Texas at Arlington # 817-272-5326 office # 817-688-1926 mobile # doran@uta.edu # http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/Thread Next
