Further information:
In the test t/entities.t there are six lines like:
print "ok n\n" if .....
for n 1 through 6. Should be:
print "not " unless .....
print "ok n\n";
So failed test results in "not ok ?" instead of printing nothing.
Next:
If you change Entities.pm so you replace the iso8859-1 characters
with their equivalent unicode hex values the function works
much better in a utf-8 environment. For example
AElig => chr(0xc6), #capital AE diphtong (ligature)
After this change the test t/entities.t will pass regardless
of the value of the LANG variable and I expect it will still
be compatible with 5.005 of perl.
Following perl script can easily patch he Entities.pm module.
It must run with LANG clear or you may see utf-8 problems.
#!/usr/bin/perl -p
s/=> '([\x80-\xff])',/sprintf q#=> chr(0x%02x),#, ord $1/e;
__END__
I guess bug 2155 and 5531 is a duplicate of this one.
