Good time of the day, people.

I'm localizing perl script (from english to russian) and have problems w/ encoding when script prints to terminal (encoding utf-8).

I made a module (encoding utf-8) where is my collection of variables, now i translate it. Then i transfer those variables to the script through qw().

Problem is that after direct printing to terminal those variables give me unreadable characters, like ив.

I have tried to put

use Encode;
binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)";

[download]

but it did not help me.

So, i have to decode every variable before use unless i do want to see the garbage:

$out=decode( "UTF-8", $out);

My questions are:

1. Is there an easier way to output variables w/o need of decoding every variable?

2. Why i having variables' contetnt written in utf8 and terminal in utf8 - can not simply print it so it might be readable in russian?

3. May you have other (simpler) suggestions regarding localization of scripts?

Thanks for any advance.
