Re^2: Regexp with unicode problem

[demis]

how do I do this? Not with use utf? This is for having utf in the code e.g.

my $string='ΔΙΑΜΕΡΙΣΜ&#91
+3;';
if($field =~/$string/){    ....}

[sierpinski]

Perhaps this (untested)


use Unicode::String;

Unicode::String->stringify_as( 'utf8' ); 
my $string = "This is latin text.";
my $string_utf8 = Unicode::String::latin1( $string );
print $string_utf8;

Never had to use it myself, but had this snippet from a long time ago.
