in thread Problems with unicode properties in regular expressions under chroot

Thanks! Actually, so far my quick hack is holding up pretty well, the program seems to be running without errors inside its chroot after a few days, so maybe my first take managed to track down all the properties that were needed.

I thought that maybe the -C0 switch would turn off Unicode altogether, which would be OK for this particular script, but for some reason it still doesn't. In the debugger I tracked it down to some data from the network being encoded as ASCII with Encode, which for some reason set the utf8 flag.

I also found a module Unicode::Tussle that had some ability to load up all entities, but really it doesn't seem any less kludgey than the ideas you provide above.

Thanks again!
