Re^3: How can I enable utf8 layer on Test::More diag output

Here's how you obtain the handles with the same methods you use for setting them:

my $b = Test::More->builder;
binmode STDOUT, $b->failure_output, ':utf8';
[download]

# both of the following are too late for Test::More
# because it has already duplicated STDOUT, STDERR
[download]

That's not quite the cause. If it where, the following would work:

BEGIN {
   binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';
   binmode STDERR, ':utf8';
}
use Test::More;
[download]

however, it doesn't work for me.

still for a general-purpose module I wouldn't assume that the terminal necessarily accepts UTF-8.

Thank you, I had not realised failure_output without any args returns the file handle already in use. On the other issue, it is a combination of Test::More duplicating the handles on load AND the fact it does not copy the IO layers when it duplicates them. As a result, I would not expect setting binmode in BEGIN to help.	[reply]
