I'm guessing you're typing stuff into the command line here, right?
Effectively yes - the thing that gave the error was just a cut-and-paste from the previous output, i.e. it seems that the decode() function is not idempotent (if that's the right word). Anyway I don't really want to spend a lot of time understanding the intricacies of unicode, or indeed perl, I just want some way to ensure that what I print is a valid IA5String so the schema validation doesn't throw it out.
This looks like a perl problem. Does the program know it's getting UTF-8 input?
It seems to be the opposite - with unicode input it seems to translate it sensibly, but fed its own ouput it gives an error. (Modulo whatever the terminal emulator is doing with the characters ...) Stephen -- Scanned by iCritical.
