So you're proposing that the meaning of "use locale", with respect to the expected encoding of strings, be completely different for UTF-8 locales from what it is for other locales. I oppose this. If the programmer is working with strings in native Unicode form, ey should declare this with "use feature 'unicode_strings'" or equivalent, not with "use locale". -zeframThread Previous | Thread Next
