Now that Perl 5.6.1 has removed support for tr///CU, is there still
an easy way to take a latin-1 character string and convert it to
a UTF8 string? I need to do that for generating LDIF files to load
into an LDAP server.
I saw mention of using pack('U0',...), but I can't figure out how that
actually works. E.g. Given a variable $string with a value of 'Áine', I'd
like to get the corresponding string in utf8.
