Re^4: Mixed Unicode and ANSI string comparisons? ( binmode utf8 and :encoding(utf8))

Because without open perl would try to downgrade "$_: ", and warn that it can't do it for some strings ("wide character ...")

Hmm, I guess I got confused by docs for open, made me think it did binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(utf8)'; instead of binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; and/or that the two were the same, that both did encode, so the strings would be corrupted/double encoded,

perlunitut explains they :utf8 and :encoding(:utf8) aren't the same

But looking at source of open leads me to think it does :utf8 even if you write :encoding(:utf8)

yeah, unicrap headache *sigh* :D

Hmm, not sure what you're talking about perlunitut explains they :utf8 and :encoding(:utf8) aren't the same As far as i can tell they're pretty much the same... OTOH, `:encoding(utf-8)` and `:encoding(utf8)` are not. I also don't agree with perlunitut that `encoding(utf-8)` is interchangeable with `:utf8`. It was written almost 10 years ago. binmode has better advice: To mark FILEHANDLE as UTF-8, use ":utf8" or ":encoding(UTF-8)". ":utf8" just marks the data as UTF-8 without further checking, while ":encoding(UTF-8)" checks the data for actually being valid UTF-8.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Remember Re^2: Mixed Unicode and ANSI string comparisons?? It double encodes utf8, the strings it prints are corrupted	[reply]

It does. As I said, he put it there to mute the warnings.	[reply]
