Subject: "o umlaut" character bug
The o umlaut character "ö" is treated as a separator, which breaks the key names when you have the character used within a value. Please not this only occurs with the lowercase "ö", I presume it contains the byte sequence for an "=" or something. Passing a file handled opened with the "<:utf8" option fixes the bug, but this does not work for files hidden behind an Include, since I have no power over how those are opened. The attached code should show the problem clearly. I have tested the bug in Config::General 2.38 and 2.33. My perl version is "v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level", and my OS is "2008; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 Macmini1,1 Darwin" (aka Mac OS X.5 - Leopard.) Thanks, - Alex
