Re: Problems with packing upper ASCII - differences across perl versions

[Monky Python]

Hi,
it seems to work for me under perl 5.6 if I add

use utf8;

to the code. Try

perldoc utf8

Doesn't work for me.

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0xf7 after
+ start byte 0xf6) at ./pack.pl line 6.
Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 4) at ./pack.pl line 6.
Unrecognized character \xB7 at ./pack.pl line 6.

According for the perl5.6.1 pack perldoc page it explicitly says it shouldn't matter. This is stock debian 5.6.1 perl.
