Just one second! What's the difference between:
$a = v50.400; chop $a;
$b = chr(50);
print "Two chr(50)s are the same, no suprise" if $a eq $b
{
use unicode::distinct;
print "Shouldn't be the same now" if $a eq $b;
}
and
{
use bytes;
print "Shouldn't be the same now" if $a eq $b;
}
Seems to me the whole idea is what the bytes pragma is for.
