Subject: [9fans] perl and locales
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 10:43:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <706d07685ee955d9b01183a33b173b73@plan9.ucalgary.ca> (raw)
what would it take to set the default locale in perl to *.UTF-8?
currently string functions break when faced with unicode characters,
especially 'length'. the normal way of changing the locale:
use locale; use POSIX qw "locale_h"; setlocale(...);
doesn't work because "use POSIX" fails.
perl also reports that it _has_ been compiled with locale support.
lastly, does anyone besides me care?
