Hi, I am having trouble using PerlApp to create freestanding executables that employ utf8 and regular expressions. The following code works fine when run with the Perl interpreter. use utf8; my $foop = "BúsquedasquedabBbbr"; while ($foop =~ /(b.)/ig) { print "$1\n"; } However, it fails to compile; I type: E:\tests\durito>perlapp utf_test.pl -f ...and get the following message: FreeStanding Builder failed to compile the script : panic: swash_fetch at (eval 22) line 7. ("Line 7" refers to the line with the regex.) The same script compiles and runs fine as a dependant executable. ...Thanks for your help.
