Hi, thanks for sharing your experience - I will add something to the
Glade-Perl FAQ about this.
I will also add a run-time check to make sure that Unicode::String is
available before trying to use its methods - this would work around some
of the problems.
There seem to be quite a few problems appearing as perl 5.6 is beginning
to be used more. I still use 5.004_4 so please report _any_ 5.6 'funnies'
or I won't find them until I upgrade :)
Regards, Dermot
