in thread Why won't Perl convert (Latin1 | ISO-8859-1) to (UTF-8 | utf8)?

Greetings,
In all fairness, I must admit, I should have been more concise.
But in my humble defense; it's easy for me to know what I mean when writing to the list, w/o fully considering the fact that others aren't – a fact that I must better consider in future posts. :P

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use perl::always;
my $perl_version = "5.12.4";
print $perl_version;

      Thanks for sharing.
