I'm getting real close now. But I'm having problems creating the parrot strings. I'm using Parrot_new_string and I'm passing "UTF-8" as the encoding name. I get back: Can't make 'UTF-8' charset strings Despite what the documentation says: encoding This specifies the encoding used to encode the characters in the data. There are currently four character encodings used in Parrot: singlebyte, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. UTF-16 and UTF-32 should use the native endianness of the machine. So does that mean I'm limited to singlebyte strings? If so, how do I specify this encoding, and what is the character set that is used? (US-ASCII ?) -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
