Re: Getting rid of accents..

Full disclosure on previously posted Perl code: I think I may have 
cribbed all or part of that previous code from something (Perl 
cookbook?).  In any case, the issue is essentially a mapping of which 
ascii codes "look like" low-ascii, so I don't think there are any 
authorship issues.

Best,

Randall
