Bug #84284 for HTML-SimpleLinkExtor: Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when decoding entities

Fri Mar 29 09:41:38 2013 NHORNE [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when decoding entities

I often get the above message on code such as this: $$contentref = Encode::decode_utf8($$contentref); $extor->parse($$contentref); What decoding/encoding to I need to do to prevent it?

I have no idea. What's in $contentref? Can you give me a complete working program with data that shows the problem? On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Nigel Horne via RT < bug-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

It's part of a very large program. I'll see if I can create a few lines of code to reproduce it. What I was really after, however, wasn't a fix more a guideline of what circumstances can lead to this and what I can do. -Nigel
