( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Perl was doing really great until I tried to type a Japanese string directly into my source file. I can't remember the exact string, but something like:

print "これは日本語ですよ!\n";  # This is Japanese Text, btw

would die miserably because the interpreter saw the japanese characters one byte at a time, and eventually found a ". I'm not honestly sure that was what was going on, but the same code with English output was fine. use locale; and use utf8; only changed what the errors were. Also, piping Japanese text in and out through forms and text files works great too (so far).

This was in PerlScript in IIS as well, I suppose that might have had something to do with it. I can at least say that the errors I received made the least sense of anything I'd ever seen. ;)

I might give Ruby a look though...lots of Japanese documentation for them will only make my life easier. You thought explaining Regular Expressions in English was hard?

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
