Obviously, a KOI8-R > string is a text string. It contains text characters. End of story. This is a logical thing to say, but unfortunately not very useful. The distinction between a text string, and a byte string representing text, is actually useful. > You also have very weird ideas of what programmers should and should > not do the defy reality. Weird ideas, maybe, but at least weird ideas that help dozens of people write working and maintainable code. You don't believe in my weird ideas, fine. But I find it very interesting that you run into all these problems with Perl's unicode support, while the people who stick to my weird ideas write lots of code without that. > I find all that contradictory, but as you ignore the evidence I > presented and the question I asked you (JSON::XS example), I see no > point in continuing talking to you. Unfortunately, I understand very little of the JSON example. I don't know JSON and would have to learn about it first. -- korajn salutojn, juerd waalboer: perl hacker <juerd@juerd.nl> <http://juerd.nl/sig> convolution: ict solutions and consultancy <sales@convolution.nl> Ik vertrouw stemcomputers niet.
