Re^5: Mixed Unicode and ANSI string comparisons? ( binmode utf8 and :encoding(utf8))

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.

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]
