I started out noticing that perlunicode was talking about warnings
categories in all caps when it shouldn't.
1296 Perl will warn (using the warning category SURROGATE which is a
1297 sub-category of UTF8) if an attempt is made
1345 (using the warning category NONCHAR which is a sub-category of UTF8) if
1354 NON_UNICODE which is a sub-category of UTF8) if an attempt is made to
I had just planned to generate a patch for those, but then when I got
in there, I ended up doing a light proofread. The patch below looks
bigger than it is.
Specific things I changed include:
* Specified CWCM instead of making people sift through
perluniprops; hope that's right.
* Updated the tr18 ref to the current v13, and made sure that
we were indeed still current with that. v13 includd the \N{}
recommendation.
* Added a footnote to Unicode::LineBreak in the tr18 table.
* Tried to fixed the brain-buster about all not unbearded denizens
not shaving themselves except for the barber's wife.
Sorry. I mean this one:
In C<quotemeta> or its inline equivalent C<\Q>, all characters whose
code points are above 127 are not quoted in UTF-8 encoded strings, but
all are quoted in UTF-8 strings.
That (still) makes no sense to me. Here's the wording I came up with that
reflects what I *thought* it was trying to say:
In C<quotemeta> or its inline equivalent C<\Q>, no characters
code points above 127 are quoted in UTF-8 encoded strings, but in
byte encoded strings, code points between 128-255 are always quoted.
See previous mail.
Karl and others should probably make sure I am not misstating anything
in the proffered patch below.
