UTF-8 (Score:1)

by Hansen (4428)

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Perl_is_utf8_string can't be used to check for well-formed UTF-8. Perls utf8 encoding form is superset of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. Perls encoding form supports codepoints up to 2**64-1 and has no problems with encoded UTF-16 surrogates or any other permanently reserved codepoints.

  Baf, I'm not disappointed. Nothing can be more disappointing than encoding problems...
  Hansen can you have a loot at http://github.com/jozef/String-isUTF8/blob/master/t/01_String-isUTF8.t [github.com] and send a patch with failing tests?
