Where is the problem ? I'm speechless.
Ummm... since I'm not sure how open() currently reacts to being passed a Unicode file or if there's something special in open() for Windows, and don't know how you think it should react (an exception? fold to UTF-8? fold to Latin1?), I don't see what the particular problem is either. For the sake of people who haven't followed this debate closely, or who were busy during the earlier lengthy threads and simply deleted most of the messages, please try to be explicit. Ilya Zakharevich on the perl5-porters mailing list often employs the "This code is buggy and if you're too clueless to see how it's broken *I* certainly won't go explaining it to you" strategy, to devastatingly divisive effect, and with little effectiveness in getting the bugs fixed. Let's not go down that road. --amk
