Thanks for the help. I printed the chars, $a, and $b before and after removing the 0x00 chars but they seem to be the same. And the test fails.
What is strange is that the reverse of the test passes ($b =~ m/[$a]/i;)
Any other thoughts/ ideas on why this might be happening ?
Thanks, Rajarshi.

Hi,
May be this is could be useful; Unicode characters have two bytes for each character. Each character has "0x00" following to the each character. You need to remove the "0x00" after each character and then do the Regular Expression matching.
my $temp = chr(0x00); $line =~ s/$temp//g; this remove the Unicode characters from the line.

Hi, I had a question regarding utf-ebcdic issues on z/OS. I tried this on a perl-5.8.6. If I use a unicode character within a character class and try matching the same using a regular expression, I get a failure.
e.g. if I write this ;
use charnames:full;
$a = "\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE}"; $b = "\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE}";
$a =~ m/[$b]/i;
This fails whereas,
$b =~ m/[$a]/i; passes.
Does anyone have thoughts on why this might be happening ? Alternately, could someone let know as to who could help ?
Thanks in advance, Rajarshi.
