| Subject: | UTF-8 encoding |
Version 0.08 converted the French-speaking words into UTF-8.
Unfortunately, there was no "use utf8;" in the code files.
So actually, where Emacs, Vi, shell, grep see "Vendémiaire"
and "Floréal", for example, Perl reads "VendÂ(copyright)miaire"
and "FlorÂ(copyright)al".
Since the test scripts also lack the "use utf8;" invocation,
they did not notice the problem.
So, simple scripts which just print values to
a UTF-8-aware xterm seem to work, but if you want to use
"length", "substr", "sprintf qq(%8s)" for example, the scripts
are broken.
