I'm working with a byte oriented protocol, and need to extract byte n1 through
byte n2 from a string. Problem is, the string can be UTF8, and substr() is
character oriented. What (if anything) is the best way to do this in Perl?
Any/all ideas welcome. I would prefer a pure Perl (non XS) solution,

Alas, no -- I'm inte
I'm confused, can someone tell me why:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use bytes;
$x = chr( 400 );
print "Length is ", length( $x ), "\n";
prints 1, while
#!/usr/bin/perl
$x = chr( 400 );
use bytes;
print "Length is ", length( $x ), "\n";
prints 2?
% perl -v
This is perl, v
