Discovered a nasty today in a perl CPAN module Text::CSV
Essentially, Text::CSV has problems when extended ASCII characters (nos 128-255) are embedded in the CSV file. This affects most of the continental European languages, with umlauts, accents etc.
After a lot of looking and delving, I found the cause of the problem.
I have notified the author, and opened a bug in rt.cpan.org.
If you’re desperate, however, here’s a cdiff (apply it with “patch”). But use it at your own risk!!!
