I know there's a lot of things out there on the subject, but when it comes to Unicode, a quick review of core concepts and bug avoidance guidelines is never a waste of time.
I'm not a Unicode Guru, but working with third parties, I often find that a lot of people consistently fail to get the basics right about Unicode and encoding. There must be something esoteric about it. So here's yet another set of slides about Unicode/UTF8 in Perl.
It's not meant to be a comprehensive presentation of all Unicode things in Perl. It's meant to insist on a couple of guidelines and give some pointers to get a good start writing a unicode compliant application and avoiding common issues.
Comments are open for questions. Happy coding!
