Hi,
I'm trying to translate some special characters into unicoded Greek.

#This works:
use charnames ':full';
print("\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON}\n");

#But this doesn't:
use charnames ':full';
$var = 'GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON';
print("\N{$var}\n");

It gives this error:
Unknown charname '$var' at C:/Perl/lib/charnames.pm line 32.
Propagated at un.pl line 3, within string Execution of un.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
shell returned 255

I need to pass the character name at runtime. But I see in the manpages that \N does not accept a variable. Nor does \x, it seems. The manpages suggest using charnames::vianame(), but all that does is return a character code, whereas I'm interested in getting back the actual unicoded character. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Many thanks.

Casey
