Oh, great. Now you want to mix different encodings in the same file.
I give up :-)
I think you misunderstood me. This script was in my original post:
use strict;
use MSSQL::OlleDB;
$| = 1;
my $i = 0;
foreach (1..2) {
my $db = 'r\xE4ksm\xF6rg\xE5s';
print "Len " . length($db) . " Str: $db\n";
my $X = MSSQL::OlleDB->connect(undef, undef, undef, $db);
$i++;
print "$i\n" if $i % 50 == 0
}
This script is supposed to connect to a database called "r\xE4ksm\xF6rg\xE5s",
a name which in SQL Server is stored as Unicode, in UTF-16. OlleDB is
my XS module, and it uses SvUTF8 to determin whether $db is in UTF-8
or not, and then converts to UTF-16 from the ANSI code page or UTF-8.
First I had saved the script in ANSI format, and I connected as I had
expected. Then I saved the script in UTF-8. It still said "r\xE4ksm\xF6rg\xE5s"
when I looked at the file, but SvUTF8 still returned false, so I did
not connect to the database successfully.
To be able to that, it would have have to understand byte-order marks
(which it doesn't). I think there was a suggestion that you could
specify an
In 5.8.5 it will.
Will such an option include the possibility to say that I want Perl to
determine the encoding from the byte-order mark?
