Re: Problem using WriteInfo

I don't understand how the "eval 'require Encode'" can be successful without Encode::_utf8_off() being available.

If it is calling _utf8_off(), then the Encode module must have been loaded, so you must have it. It doesn't make sense.

The following line WILL work instead, but is slower so I would rather not do this in the official version:

pack('C*', unpack('C*', $value));

So I'm at a bit of a loss trying to get something that works for everyone yet doesn't compromise performance.
