Re: The module version works, but the standlone version crashes with "Malformed UTF-8 character"

in reply to The module version works, but the standlone version crashes with "Malformed UTF-8 character"

The error message states:

Malformed UTF-8 character: \xf6\x6e\x20\x26

In latin-1 encoding this would be "ön &". This string (or something similar in another encoding) apparently occurs in any of your files and at least this file is not utf-8 encoded.

    Yes, it's file blues/020d9511 which is Latin-1 encoded. In UTF-8, the problematic line would be
    TTITLE2=Jung, schön & stylish feat. Justus

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    The question is not why the standalone version does not work or where it doesn't work. If you delete blues/020d9511 it crashes immediately at next UTF-8 encoded file.
    The question is why the standalone version does not work and the module version works without any problem, although the code is absolutely the same. What makes a module so different internally so that perl has a different interpretation in both cases? For me as a developer a particular code must always give the same result, but in this case I am really helpless.

      Here I disagree. The input is malformed and a crashing program is the right thing™ here. I would not care why the other version does not crash but instead correct the input data.
