Subject:
utf8 issues
There seem to be an issue with scrubbing utf8 encoded html.
The returned data are not in perl internal encoding so one have to to
decode on it.

I just wrote a test for this and am not seeing issues... which quite likely means I do not
understanding things correctly since UTF tends to be subtle and vengeful!
Could you send me a failing test for this - it will make it much easier to fix, and show that its
fixed.
Failing that, some sample code.
Nigel.

Still awaiting some failure examples for this - if the input string is correctly labeled as utf8 then
there should be no issues.
If, however, you have a byte string with utf8 content you are lying about the character sets to
the code and nasty things may happen - in that sort of case you should set the input filehandle
encoding or explicitly d/encode the string.
Intending to close this off unless I get some form of further info as I cannot reproduce an issue.

Tests I have run are showing that the module is utf clean, and no response from original reporter
giving any further information regarding the bug.
