I'm currently not using Perl 5.6, but rather the Perl being shipped with
Potato (don't recall the exact version number/patch level right
now). Doing
apt-cache search --names-only libunicode
finds
libunicode-string-perl - Perl modules for Unicode strings
libunicode-map8-perl - Perl module to map 8bit character sets to Unicode
Does anybody have experience using these two Perl modules? Could they be a
solution to the problem I'm having?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Holger
