Re: Re: s/.// increases length - bug or badly documented feature

Also interesting is that the deparsed code is not equal.


print length chr 12345
[download]

outputs "1", and deparses to:


print length "\343\200\271";
[download]

which outputs "3" :)

Between chr and ord, things are consistent: ord chr 12345 is 12345 (maybe it should return 12345 % 256?)
