I want Unicode Perl!

2001-02-23 00:29:38+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Argh. In putting the finishing touches on my CGI app framework I'm trying to support modern HTML DTDs, and I've discovered that Perl doesn't really have a good way to deal with the "special" and "symbol" entity lists. Using HTML::Entities to encode and decode doesn't always return the string to its original form, and since that's what HTML::Parser is using this presents a problem. Anyone had experience with this?
