PERL,INGRES,PROGRAMMING

Just released an article on  i-programmer called Unicode issues regarding the Window OS file system and their handling from Perl Intro : " Unicode is supposed to make character handling easy, but living with a legacy system that uses multibyte encoding makes things complicated.
