Hi Lincoln, Whoa!! I found this rotting in my drafts box. Looks like I went to SF to test their MacOS X boxes and your message got lost...

Hi Lincoln, Since these test work on the systems I have immediate access to, I've never been able to really investigate it much. I have to admit that I almost completely Unicode ignorant - I learned enough about it to add support for it into XML-Xerces: Perl uses an internal UTF8 encoding and Xerces-C uses UTF16, so I have to use a transcoder to pass strings back and forth. I don't actually understand how or where the character pages are defined - is it part of the linux kernel, or is it something that is affected by which linux distribution you are running? MacOS X is *really* bad - all the tests fail. One thought would be to set the LANG variable to something different and see if that affects anything - I use plain en_US as my setting and I've never actually tested other settings. I'd be happy to find out what is causing this, so to help others fix it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
