It's not 100% clear that you'll want the AUTHORS file to be in UTF-8 rather than Latin-1. In my opinion it should be\, both because UTF-8 is more flexible\, and because there's at least one author whose name cannot be represented in Latin-1. I've also updated my own e-mail address (the old and new addresses are both valid\, but I prefer to use my gmail address for this kind of thing.) If you don't want to deal with the character encoding\, please update that line.

Incidentally\, there are a number of files in the Perl source tree that are encoded in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1)\, and a number that are in UTF-8. Running "file" on everything shows 70 Latin-1 files and 58 UTF-8 files\, but that may be incomplete. Copyright symbols probably account for a lot of them.

If there's a consensus that all the Latin-1 files should be converted to UTF-8\, I'll volunteer to do the conversion and submit a patch.

I have applied your patch as 055f85571. I omitted the change to Jirka Hruška\, though\, as it was already in UTF-8 (which is why I didn’t hesitate to apply the rest of your patch).

Do you have any idea what the missing letter is in Pavel Ka¿kovský’s name?

I suggested exactly the same change a week ago. I haven’t heard any objections.

It looks like Pavel's last name is Kankovský. I don't know why an ordinary ASCII 'n' would have been messed up.

Pavel's email address as it appears there suggests that he's Czech. The Czech alphabet uses both "ý" and "ň"\, and the latter looks like it could well appear in his name in place of a plain "n". Which leaves the question of why Pavel wrote his name with a plain "n" in that email. One possibility is that\, since "ý" is in ISO 8859-1 but "ň" isn't\, he was using a system that supported ISO 8859-1 but not 8859-2 (or one of the other character sets that can represent Czech text accurately).

However\, I should clarify that I don't know any Czech — I'm just guessing here. It would probably be better to contact Pavel and ask him how he'd like his name to appear in AUTHORS.

Thank you for stating the obvious\, which\, for some reason\, I was too dense to see. I’m forwarding this to him from within RT.

His name is Pavel Kaňkovský. I'm not sure he still owns address \kan@&#8203;dcit\.cz\, AFAIK he uses faculty mail box (http​://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/fakulta/struktura/lide/937.htm) now.

Oh\, I am afraid you guys have already invested far more effort into the quest for the correct spelling of my name than I deserve for my miniscule contribution to the development of Perl.

Aaron is right\, the third letter of my surname (in all its diacritical glory) is "n with caron" and the caron must have been lost in translation. [I have learned not to let Lotus Notes unleash the horrors of diacritical marks on unsuspecting audience since then.]

I guess the most efficient remedy (other than dropping me from the list altogether) would be to remove an acute from the final "y" and make the name fully ASCII-ized; I am quite content with that transcription ("What's in a name?"). But if you prefer to keep names as close as to their native form\, here is the 100% correct spelling of my name in UTF-8​:

perl -CO -e 'print "Pavel Ka\x{0148}kovsk\x{00fd}\n"'
