Yes I have seen this and the way I have worked around it is:
$myStr = Unicode::String::utf8($char1) . Unicode::String::utf8($char2);
return $myStr->as_string;

Subject: '.' concatenation seems to fail with 2 unicode strings
Hi,
I am quite new to unicode, and although I'm a confirmed Perl
programmer this seems to be quite a mind fuck ;-)
Just a very simple script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use utf8;
use strict;
print "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n\n";
# 8712 is the mathematical 'belongs to' symbol
my $unicode_char1 = chr (8712);
my $unicode_char2 = chr (8712);
print $unicode_char1, "\n";
print $unicode_char2, "\n";
print $unicode_char1 . $unicode_char2, "\n";
The concatenation doesn't work!
Tested on the command line and in mozilla browser (which has quite good
unicode support)
However, using Unicode::String and the append() method seems to work
fine. I am using Perl 5.6.0
Any ideas?
Cheers,
