Hi! Fellow,
I'm trying to discover the escence of the encoding, but couldn't find the right solution, if I make something like:
use Encode qw(is_utf8 encode decode);
binmode STDOUT,':encoding(iso8859-1)';
my $utf8 = "This's a \x{201c}test\x{201d}";
print "Is this utf8: ",is_utf8($utf8) ? "Yes" : "No", "\n";
print encode("iso-8859-1", decode("utf8",$utf8)), "\n";
# Here perl say that "Cannot decode string with wide characters"
Why, perl say that it's an utf8 but can't decode it?, it's a right function or I have an error?, if \x{201c} is not an utf8 character, how could you know that?, what are the step to prove it?, I was tried with from_to with similar result, so i guest that i'm doing something wrong
Thank you in advance

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
