Re^3: Different behaviour in characters in string vs. array?

Good point.

So to avoid encoding bugs and warnings at output about "Wide character in print" one can write:

use utf8;
$ENV{LANG} = 'ru_RU.UTF-8';
use open IO => ':locale';   # I tried ':utf8' instead but got warnings

The bugs to which you linked are Encode's, not encoding. While they may effect `use encoding`, I was referring to `use encoding`'s proper flaws. Now, I can't remember exactly what they were, but you can search the P5P mailing list for the conversation. Depending on what you want to do, `# Use expected encoding for STDIN/OUT/ERR use open ':std', ':locale'; # Use UTF-8 for STDIN/OUT/ERR use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Use UTF-8 for file IO use open IO => ':encoding(UTF-8)';` [download] `:utf8` has a security vulnerability for input.
