Package: perl
Version: 5.8.7-7
Severity: normal
The script
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use Encode;
my $it = "string";
print "[$it]\n";
print "[".decode("iso-8859-1", $it, 1)."]\n";
print "[$it]\n";
produces the following output:
[string]
[string]
[]
This is a regression. In the past, this was working.
