Hello,
I'm trying the following:
my $dt0 = DateTime->new( year => 2009,
month => 3,
day => 1,
time_zone => 'Europe/Zurich',
locale => 'de_CH-UTF8'
);
print "'", $dt0->month_name, "'\n";
then from the shell:
$ perl test.pl | uniname
character byte UTF-32 encoded as glyph name
0 0 000027 27 ' APOSTROPHE
1 1 00004D 4D M LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M
Invalid UTF-8 code encountered at line 1, character 2, byte -1.
The sequence is not a valid UTF-8 character because
the first byte, value 0xE4, bit pattern 11100100,
requires 2 continuation bytes, but of the immediately
following bytes, byte 1, value 0x72, bit pattern
11100100 is not a valid continuation byte, since
its high bits are not 10.
...
This is because it returns the month name in ISO-8859-1. That's often a good idea for Swiss-german text like in 'März', but I explicitely asked for UTF-8 here.
What did I not understand here?
Thanks for any hints!
