Greetings.
Can anyone suggest a good way of converting a string from UTF-8 to IA5
(ASCII) for the gecos attribute. For example, I have the hypotheical
user Ërïç Cärtmân, with a lot of accented characters in his name
converting his name to ASCII using this code:
my $gecos = encode('ascii', $cn);
Turns it into this ugly mess:
gecos: ?r?? C?rtm?n
Anyone know of any decent perl functions that could turn it into
something more readable, like "Eric Cartman"?
Trying to setup regular expressions would be a nightmare.
