perlquestion larryk Hi! It has been some time since my last post
but I haven't forgotten about you guys :) <p> Bit of an oddball
query, this one... but I bet someone knows one or two ways to do
it. <p> I'm creating search indexes with Perl for my Chinese
dictionary mobile app and am hitting a problem where the (Perl)
sorted keys - Chinese characters - are not in exactly the same
order as the binary search on-device is expecting them to be.
<p> In real terms, there are 165910 index records and 188 of
them are unreachable on-device because the sort order is
slightly different between Perl's standard string sort and C#'s
String.Compare function (with "en-US" culture). <p> I've played
around for weeks with the culture settings and this 188
unreachable number is the optimal result I have achieved. So 2
questions: <p> 1. (long shot) has anyone seen this issue before
so knows the magic incantation to get Perl and C# to agree 100%
on sort order for UTF-8? <p> 2. (failing that) how do I get Perl
to sort by Unicode cod
