now that you mention it, I guess it actually _is_ correct to handle the C locale as true ISO 646, with the need for trigraphs and everything. Solaris 10 also uses "646" for the "C" locale. perhaps you can integrate your Trigraph.pm module as an Encode::Trigraph ? I haven't looked at the code to see how hard this is. is Encode used internally by Perl anyway? I'm afraid I have no idea. -- Kjetil T.
