[Kde-perl] Converting Qt4 QString to ordinary Perl string

[Chris Burel]

As I recall from when I looked at that version of the binding from a
year ago, you have to go through a roundabout method to get the data
out of the QString object.

my $i = 0;
my $perlStr = '';
while( $i < $string->count() ) {
    $perlStr .= chr( $string->at($i)->cell() );
    $i++
}
print $perlStr;
Hi there

Very difficult.  This was one of the reasons the smoke-based PerlQt4
project was started.  The link has already been posted.
