This is very wrong. As said by others Gtk2 only supports utf8, nothing else. Your problem is (most likely) that $msg contains utf8 data, but perl doesn't know. If you change you code to use decode_utf8 rather than from_to, you should see that it works. $msg= decode_utf8( $msg ); This will let your utf8 data stay utf8 and still work. In your example before my guess is that before from_to length and other perl buildins will not work right on $msg. I hope that made sense. ./borup _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
