At first I thought this may be a Perl version thingy, so I asked some of our
"smart guys" internally. This was their response:
<snip>
Looks like a problem with character encoding on his end. I installed 2.58
release, and did the same conversion. Request under utf-8 encoding
returned orignal name. When I converted this to 8859-1 encoding, the
original name is read as: caçó.com , which is very similar to what he
was getting( not exact, but likely a browser difference more than anything
else ).
As for versions of perl, it's unlikely that this would be a factor. If
the problem were in perl unicode support (or our RACE stuff), it's
unlikely that most strings would get a round-trip result at all; they'd
mostly fail on the initial conversion.
