some of your characters did not translate properly for email
Here is a simpler example:
$ a=( name='ä' ) # lower case a umlaut (unicode=00E4)
$ print $a
( name=ä ) # correct
$ print "$a"
(
name==Ã
)
Instead of the lower case a umlaut, an upper case A with tilde (unicode
00C3) appears, and the equal is doubled. This happens on an X terminal
(urxvt) as well as on a normal Linux tty.
However, with the assignment
$ a=( name=$'\xe4' )
both outputs look fine. I noticed that entering 'ä' (a umlaut) and $'\xe4'
produces the same character on the screen, but different byte sequences:
$ print 'ä' | od -x
0000000 a4c3 000a
$ print $'\xe4' | od -x
0000000 0ae4
The same happens under bash, so it might be a matter of some system setting
and/or my lack of understanding. Any clarification is appreciated!

Bernd
