Oops, forgot to copy list:
Well from my own experience decoding and display are not always consistent.
You MUST use a "decode" function before you display any utf8, whether it
displays right or not, otherwise will have problems on other platforms. Eg
when I ported from Linux to Windows, some utf8 codes which worked on Linux
failed on Windows. When I went through all my code I discovered a lack of
consistency and stuff which should not have displayed properly did display.
Anyhow:
use utf8; # This allows utf8 decorated
characters in your code eg ççç
use Encode; # This gives access to code and
decode functions use for all file access and db access.
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; # Can't remember why I have this, maybe it's
for file::open
.
.
.
then
.
.
.
$var = decode("utf8",$row->{ATT_BOOKING_COMMENT_TXT}) ;
The other problem you may see is sorting in alphabetical order with
decorated characters (eg úlcera should come before ulceração, but a native
Perl sort puts it afterwards)!!!

Steve.

Subject: ComboBox and utf8
Hello,
I have a problem with ComboBox and utf8 data.
For example string "Dervis" is displayed like "Dervi" + 2 weird characters.
If I just create a test case, paste the mentioned string into the code
and 'use utf8' then it works.
But these strings are coming from db and DBD::Pg is set to convert them
to the perl internal encoding.
Also there seem no to be a problem with other controls.
Wx::Perl::ListCtrl displays it correctly.
Thanks.
