I noticed that the "Spam Chat" feature of GRSS stops as soon as it encounter a name with a multi-byte character in it. I further suspect this because it expands multi-byte characters to '?'.
Perhaps there is something that can be done about this?
Looks like the ActiveState Perl (which I presume you used to compile the executable) may not be Unicode compliant. I will test this out by setting windows to use ANSI multi-byte instead, though that's not a dead giveaway as the executable may not even have that built in.
I'll also try to see if the vanilla Perl for Win32 has Unicode supported, probably a long shot though.
So this is goofy. Changing internationalization settings didn't do anything. However the GRSS mod did accept a bid from a user whose name was truncated with a '?' where the multi-byte character appeared. This time, the GRSS mod picked up the actual name of the toon and applied the bid against a new DKP standing.
Needless to say this made importing the DKP from GRSS to the web site interesting. In essence, I had to do it manually. I can deal with it for now. Perhaps I can supply some sort of debugging info to help figure this one out?
