Can anyone reproduce this? I am on Linux Mandrake 8.2 and perl8.2.0
I assume you mean perl 5.8.0 RC2.
prints 'no match' when the following script (saved as utf-8) is
executed. Is it a bug or a feature? On perl5.6.1 works as expected.
It's a bug. The "UTF-8-ness" of the substitute string wasn't
properly propagated to the target string. I now fixed this.
use utf8;
$a = 'España';
$a =~ s/ñ/ñ/;
print $a =~ m/ñ/ ? 'match' : 'no match', "\n";
