Use of any other character following the C<"c"> besides those listed above is -discouraged, and some are deprecated with the intention of removing -those in a later Perl version. What happens for any of these -other characters currently though, is that the value is derived by xor'ing -with the seventh bit, which is 64. +discouraged, and as of Perl v5.20, the only characters actually allowed +are the printable ASCII ones, minus the left brace C<"{">. What happens +for any of the allowed other characters is that the value is derived by +xor'ing with the seventh bit, which is 64, and a warning raised if +enabled. Using the non-allowed characters generates a fatal error. To get platform independent controls, you can use C<\N{...}>. |
