Package: perl
Version: 5.8.8-12
Severity: normal
Converting a certain sequence of ISO-2022-JP text to utf8 succeeds:
$ perl -MEncode -e '$s= "{\x1b\x24\x42\x2d)\x1b(B}"; print
encode("utf8", decode("iso-2022-jp", $s, Encode::FB_CROAK)), "\n"'
{⑨}
However, converting it back to ISO-2022-JP fails:
$ perl -MEncode -e '$s= "{\x1b\x24\x42\x2d)\x1b(B}"; print
encode("iso-2022-jp", decode("iso-2022-jp", $s, Encode::FB_CROAK)),
"\n"'
{\x{2468}}
It should be noted that iconv rejects this entirely:
$ perl -MEncode -e '$s= "{\x1b\x24\x42\x2d)\x1b(B}"; print $s,
"\n"'|iconv -f iso-2022-jp -t utf8
{iconv: illegal input sequence at position 4
However, if this is truly invalid iso-2022-jp, perl should croak on it, since
FB_CROAK was passed.
