Package: perl-base Version: 5.8.4-8 Severity: normal I noticed the following behaviour (all strings are utf8 encoded):
> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'use encoding "utf8"; $bla="abcdÃlfg"; > $bla=~s/abcdÃ/xyz/; print $bla, "\n";' > xyzÃlfg Obviously, the à should also have been replaced. It works fine if the 'use encoding "utf8"' is removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-ac6 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages perl-base depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
