I have also seen that length($string) returns the number of bytes of
$string, and not the number of chars (if the string contains UTF-8
chars).
This tells me that you are taking input from an octet buffer that comes
from outside.
Yes, I am getting it from a SQLite database.
my $octets = <>;
my $string;
eval {
$string = Encode::decode("utf8", $octets, Encode::FB_CROAK);
1;
} or {
# malformed input
}
Ok, I can get the size of the string using this code, but please tell me how
to get the UTF-8 chars from this string.
After decoding the octets, if I do
my @chars = split //, $string;
then it also returns the octets separately and not the UTF-8 chars.
Thanks.
