Bill,

The fact that Result1 is a sigma proves that the shell script did not encode the \xe4

I disagree, because the `` has some implicit translations going on that you aren't controlling.

To test it, you need to capture the raw output bytes of the -e under test. Then you can compare them to the expected values.

I show an example test where I print \xe4\xe0 twice: the first time, without a binmode in the oneliner; the second time, with a binmode in the oneliner. You can see that the bytes that are output are different. You can test that those bytes match your expectations.

    binmode $ofh, ':raw';   # need to read from the open2 output file handle in raw mode, so you're looking at bytes, _not_ characters
    chomp(my $line = <$ofh>);
    print "without binmode, the high 8-bit characters pass through untranslated: ", unpack 'H*', $line;
    is $line, "\xE4\xE0", 'the bytes should be unedited';
    print "and printed out during test script: '$line'";
}

    my $pid = open2(my $ofh, my $ifh, 'perl', '-e', q("binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(Cp437)'; print qq(\xe4\xe0)"));
