Re: question about Encode::decode('iso-8859-1', ...)

No.
But test($x) may return 1 if you use 'utf8' instead of 'iso-8859-1'.

thanks, but do you mean "may return 0 ..." instead of "may return 1 ..." ?	[reply]

Well, it can return both :) It can return zero for any encoding other than US-ASCII and iso-8859-1.	[reply]

Don't think so. Could you provide an example? For "any encoding other than US-ASCII and iso-8859-1" to matter while decoding, you'd need wide characters, in which case Perl will croak with `"Wide character in subroutine entry at .../Encode.pm line..."` before returning anything. Any non-wide characters will simply be treated as iso-8859-1, because `decode('iso-8859-1',...)` is telling Perl they are.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
