Subject:

Umlauts

German umlauts don't work: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use String::Random qw(random_regex); print random_regex "ü[ü]"; prints "ü�" instead of "üü". Debian etch perl: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi libstring-random-perl: 0.198-4 uname -a: Linux iserv.dev2.iserv.eu 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 21:39:38 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Perl script encoding: utf8, written in vim.

The bug is all yours. You encoded the file using UTF-8, but you didn't tell Perl it was UTF-8 using use utf8; Then you print out text without telling Perl how to encode it for your terminal using use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)'; This is not a bug (in String::Random).
