| Subject: | Failure with UTF-8 encoded data (with patch) |
The symptom is this error:
Wide character in subroutine entry at [...]/Flickr/API.pm line 48.
The problem is in the computation of the hash for the arguments in sub
sign_args. A simple fix, suggested by the Digest::MD5 docs, worked for me
and is attached.
