Re: [PLUG] OT: Perl question

| It is too ASCII, it's just 8-bit clean ASCII.
you are apparently using a definition of ASCII different
than the canonical one.
ASCII - a 7 bit character set defined by ANSI
standard x3.4, and later the ISO standard 646.
an 8 bit character set is necessarily not ASCII. but most likely
some form of "ASCII + extensions", where "extensions" may be either
proprietary (such as MS-DOS codepages) or standardized (such as
ISO-8859).
