I can find nothing wrong. Run the following test program (it outputs
foo'bar as expected):
public final class sub {
public static final void main(String args[]) {
Perl5Util perl = new Perl5Util();
System.out.println(perl.substitute("s/\\x92/'/g", "foo\u0092bar"));
}
}
The problem you're running into is probably in your Java I/O. Whatever
you're doing to create the input is not preserving the character. If
you're reading 8-bit extended ASCII, use an InputStream to read the
original source, else certain byte-sequences will be interpreted as UTF-8
by a Reader and what you get in terms of Java characters will not be what
you expect.
