[LDAPsh-devel] James patches => HEAD

[Rafael C. <Raf...@li...>]

Hi all,

I checked the branches created by James.
Excellent work. I really LOVE the new "vi" feature that allows changing
data !!! I just fixed a very little bug (release 1.20.8.2).


I have a question.
The module Unicode::MapUTF8 seems to be problematic:

1) As far as I know, it is not available on Windows
2) I upgraded my Linux box and have now Perl 5.8. I get a lot of errors
installing the module.

By the other hand, I know that Perl now supports Unicode natively. What
this really means?
Why I initially loaded the module Unicode::MapUTF8 on the shell? Because
the user can then use the function from_utf8() on the shell. And because
I planned to auto-detect UTF8 encoded attribute values so I can convert
values to a user-defined character set (ISO 8859-1 by default).

I'm not an expert of UTF8. Do you know how we could improve UTF8
handling without using Unicode::MapUTF8 ?

Thanks a lot!
Rafael
