Conditional check for Perl 5.10 added, so unpack is
called differently if Perl 5.10, or later is called,
but previous unpack call is still used for older
versions of Perl.

Are you able to test the code change with earlier
versions of Perl?

If the change works for older versions, there will
be no need to conditionalize based upon version
of Perl.

Hi,

with perl 5.10 the semantic of unpacks U0 parameter changed from a charbased to a bytebased version [1]. That means that _utf8_to_sgml from CharEnt.pm fails for multibyte characters. The fix is pretty simple:

-$char = unpack('U0U*',$1);
+$char = unpack('C0U*',$1);

Of course this took me some time to findī€€out ;). You should around it with a perl version check, but I guess that should be no Problem.

Thanks
