andreas1234567 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This question relates to a bug in Parse::Dia::SQL but is general in nature.
The question is how to e.g. handle my list of favorite Icelandic volcanoes[1]: This will typicially print
Eyjafjallaj�kull Adding makes the non ascii characters display as I expect, but I guess I could also have used locale settings. What do you think is the best strategy for handling non ASCII characters? [1] Chosen entirely for their non-ascii-ness.
-- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them. [1]
