Re^3: Counting bytes in a Unicode document

Indeed,

The bytes pragma is in core and

require bytes; 
bytes::length($data);

does the job.

Both of those hacks will fail on Windows or if a decoding error occurs.	[reply]

You mean both `bytes` hacks, or also removing the utf8 flag manually? In any case, isn't that a bug? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

No, it's not a bug that they don't return the size of something that's not passed to them. If anything, I would consider using either of those a bug. It's hard to imagine a reason to use them.	[reply]
