Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Perl script backspace not working for Unicode characters Post 302500828 by DGPickett on Tuesday 1st of March 2011 04:02:46 PM

How old is the PERL? It seems to be ignoring the UTF-8 encoding mode. Some googled up articles say backspace should be mapped like delete ^? not ^H! Another suggests issuing the "stty iutf8" command. I thought the tty cooked handling was in the system, not PERL -- PERL just gets a line! You might run it in truss/strace/tusc to see what is passed.
