Re: [MacPerl] UTF8 conversion

This is dangerous. I sometimes find filenames containing the DEL character,
often produced by users in a file-save-as dialog. Older programs just
don't apply the DEL char but rather keep it invisible in the file's name.
Strange but real.

Sorry - I can't much contribute to the much more tricky questions of the
UTF module.
