So, what does it mean someone is asking for, when he or she writes:
my $string = qq[Queensr\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS}che];
my $packed = pack "A*", $string;
All the other confusion of this thread aside, I *think* that we all agree that
the person writing this is making a mistake. Is that true? Do we all agree
that this should be (or would not be incorrect to be) a warning?
My hunch is that we will want a warning and an improvement to the
documentation.
