How do I get $len as 1 in this example?
Works for me:
$ cat lig.t
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use Test::More tests => 1;
my $char = "ffi";
my $len = length($char);
is ($len, 1);
$ perl lig.t
1..1
ok 1
$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 3 (v5.20.3) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
(with 16 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
If you are working with these sorts of characters you could do a lot worse than go through the length() miscounting UTF8 characters? thread.

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).
