Dear All,
I am facing a problem in escaping the character "#" from the url. I am working in Mason framework now which uses Perl, HTML and Javascript.
What I really want is to escape the character "#" from the value assigned to a variable. As this value gets appended to the url, I am not getting the correct and expected values.
Eg: Suppose $value = "My#Group";
Here I want to escape the character # so that the variable $value contains the value "My#Group" instead of "My" as Perl considers the character # as the starting of comments and comments whatever is there after that.
Moreover the value of this variable gets appended to the previously existing url and as Perl treats # as commenting character, it is not considering the values after # in the url.
I have used URI::Escape::ur i_escape() and HTML::Entities: :encode_entitie s() methods but not able to get the solution.
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to include the '#" symbol in a variable. - my $test_val = qq{Some#Name};
-
my $test_val1 = q{Some#Name};
-
my $test_val2 = 'Some#Name';
-
my $test_val3 = "Some#Name";

The # symbol is not considered a comment in the context it's being used. There should be no problem to have a # symbol in a URL.

Dear Kevin
When I tried to copy the url in the address bar and pasted it in an editor, the text which is after the character # in the url appears to be commented when the file view is Perl.
Eg; In EditPlus, if the file view type is perl and I pasted the url in the editor, the text after # appears to be commented.

Well, thats an editor. It may depend on how you view it in the editor, but a # in a single or double-quoted string is just a literal #, it is not a comment. - # this a comment
-
$foo = "# this is not a comment";

In a sorted list, certain characters are grouped together, for example "çb"
(cedille b) comes after "ca" but before "cc".
Is there a built-in way to find out what 'base character', such as C for
cedille, a character belongs to for a given globalization setting?

Hi,
I used XslCompiledTransform with the following Xsl file. The <xsl:text

to do the trnasform (namely the output contain < not <), while it works when
using MSXML2 to do the transform. Does anyone have the same problem and how
to make the escape work? Thanks.

I am using DOM to create an rss feed. The problem I am running into
is "special characters" such as é è ç. If I try adding them to the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
