How does one get utf8 text into Perl 5.6 strings?
I have a dirty hack called UTF8::Hack which I'll
CPAN tonight. This lets you say utf8on($a)
to tell Perl that a string should be treated as
UTF8, and utf8off($a) to tell Perl thatit should be
treated as bytes. Yes, it's really horrible, and it's
only a stop-gap solution. I'm working on something
more general - putting Unicode::Map8 into core may
fix this.
