I posted a thread earlier titled "User Verification"...The replies were great and I was able to execute the code with no problems, however I forgot to mention one thing...

I am working on a Japanese operating system (but the version of Perl is english). Currently I dont have jcode.pl installed.
I also am working with a Japanese keyboard which readily gives me the ability to type in JIS character sets.

So my problem is "A" is different from "A" (not sure if you can tell the difference but Perl sure can)

My usernames will consist of 1 bit characters (unicode)...Is there a way to convert the user input to unicode BEFORE it checks the values in the array?

ありがとうございます!
Thanks.

BTW - right now I am looking into Jcode::convert, not sure if this is what Im looking for but if anyone has any experience or knowledge please enlighten me.
