What exactly do you mean by "current behaviour"? To fix the issue that codepoints 128..255 are included depending on internal encoding, there are two options: - Ignore anything above 127 - Provide full unicode semantics. The first, ASCII-only, would be a mistake. Perhaps there is other current behaviour that I am not aware of. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards, Korajn salutojn, Juerd Waalboer: Perl hacker <#####@juerd.nl> <http://juerd.nl/sig> Convolution: ICT solutions and consultancy <sales@convolution.nl>Thread Previous | Thread Next
