    http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl5.porters/msg/651b72... is a version of the article with the character encoding done correctly, not by monkeys. I dunno what that originally was supposed to be but perl.org's NNTP gateway horked it into some unholy mix of UTF-8 and 8859-1.

    Good article, tho.

    That is the type of stuff nightmares are made of.

    Unicode is history repeated as tragedy.
