unicode and perl TK

2001-01-11 05:17:44
Hi,
my experience in Unicode is very small, so my questions might look
stupid.....

I would like to use perl for a dicitionary. As different languages use
different
letters (even the european ones like spanish, german, etc.) I would like
to 
use these.
Using the terminal in linux/unix for input/output I guess that I would
need a 
utf-8 enabled terminal, right?

Assume I use a gui like perl-tk for input and output. How can i ensure
that
utf-8 is supported there? 
Do I need utf-8 fonts for perl-tk. Do these exist?
Where can I get them? 
How can I input data then ( I only have a keyboard covering the latin
characters,
do I need a special keyboard driver?)?
Can I cut and paste input and output?

thanks daniel
