Subject:

HTML::Entities doesn't handle Austria in Danish correctly

This program: #!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use Locale::Country::Multilingual; use HTML::Entities; my $l = Locale::Country::Multilingual->new(); my $foo = $l->country2code('Austria', 'en'); print encode_entities($l->code2country($foo, 'da')) . "\n"; Should print Østrig, but it prints Ãstrig.

This appear to be and issue with Locale::Country::Multilingual. It outputs UTF-8 encoded bytes instead of Unicode strings. In <http://search.cpan.org/dist/Locale-Country-Multilingual/lib/Locale/Country/Multilingual/Unicode.pod> you can read that it might help to add: use_io_layer => 1 argument to the constructor. I tried that it I got Østrig as the output from your sample program. ------------------------ !/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use Locale::Country::Multilingual; use HTML::Entities; my $l = Locale::Country::Multilingual->new(use_io_layer => 1); my $foo = $l->country2code('Austria', 'en'); print encode_entities($l->code2country($foo, 'da')) . "\n";
