Problem Statement

Is is true that if the perfect set F[0,1]F\subseteq [0,1] is of zero Lebesgue measure then those functions in C1[0,1]C^1[0,1] which are one-to-one on FF form a dense subset of C1[0,1]C^1[0,1]? (We use the metric d(f,g)=supx[0,1]f(x)g(x)+supx[0,1]f(x)g(x)d(f,g)=\sup_{x\in[0,1]} |f(x)-g(x)| + \sup_{x\in[0,1]} |f'(x)-g'(x)| to define the topology in the space C1[0,1]C^1[0,1] of continuously differentiable real functions on [0,1][0,1].)
