# New Ticket Created by Keith Thompson # Please include the string: [perl #96924] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=96924 > It's not 100% clear that you'll want the AUTHORS file to be in UTF-8 rather than Latin-1. In my opinion it should be, both because UTF-8 is more flexible, and because there's at least one author whose name cannot be represented in Latin-1. I've also updated my own e-mail address (the old and new addresses are both valid, but I prefer to use my gmail address for this kind of thing.) If you don't want to deal with the character encoding, please update that line. Incidentally, there are a number of files in the Perl source tree that are encoded in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), and a number that are in UTF-8. Running "file" on everything shows 70 Latin-1 files and 58 UTF-8 files, but that may be incomplete. Copyright symbols probably account for a lot of them. If there's a consensus that all the Latin-1 files should be converted to UTF-8, I'll volunteer to do the conversion and submit a patch. -- Keith Thompson <Keith.S.Thompson@gmail.com>Thread Previous
