Thank you; indeed, Perl has no guilt.

As I was trying to track down a slightly more complicated issue, I just was on the wrong track for a while.

Looks like _my_ real problem originates from something I now believe to be an en_US.UTF-8 locale/glibc bug or problem which I can reproduce at system level.

Given a simple file having two records with two TAB separated fields each, like
a_2    2
a2     1
a command like 'sort -k 1 | cut -f 1 ' on that file displays
a2
a_2
(as if the field delimiter wouldn't work and the second field determines the ordering), whereas on the same file _without_ the second field the sort order is reversed.

This looks like a bug to me, tough I'm not sure yet and don't really know so far whom I should or could report this.

Thanks!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
