Bug #18913 for WWW-Google-PageRank: PageRank fails with utf8 enabled

PageRank fails with utf8 enabled

Turning utf-8 encoding on (intentionally or as a side-effect of using another module) causes WWW::Google::PageRank to fail, even if the URL being fetched doesn't contain any international characters. The checksum value that gets sent to Google is different. e.g. this works: /usr/bin/perl -MWWW::Google::PageRank -e 'print WWW::Google::PageRank->new->get("http://www.google.com") . "\n"' but this doesn't (returns undef, Google returns a 403 Forbidden): /usr/bin/perl -MWWW::Google::PageRank -e 'use encoding utf8; print WWW::Google::PageRank->new->get("http://www.google.com") . "\n"' but changing to iso-8859-1 does work: /usr/bin/perl -MWWW::Google::PageRank -e 'use encoding qw/iso-8859-1/; print WWW::Google::PageRank->new->get("http://www.google.com") . "\n"' Using perl 5.8.5.

Thanks for fixing it so promptly - works nicely in perl 5.8.5. However, I have since found that the bug persists in perl 5.8.0, even with version 0.12. I found that the fix for both versions of perl was to change the line in _compute_ch from my @url = map {ord $_} split '', $url; to my @url = unpack("C*", $url);

Just noting that this is not fixed in v0.12 with perl 5.8.8. The patch I previously posted does work in 5.8.8, viz change this line: my @url = map {ord $_} split '', $url; to: my @url = unpack("C*", $url);
