Re: Pragma to handle unicode characters

Have you tried the -C option or, equivalently, the PERL_UNICODE environment variable?

It seems to help, but I don't have enough experience with unicode strings to really test it properly.

$ perl -CSDAL -e 'print "the utf8 flag is ", utf8::is_utf8(shift) ? "o
+n" : "off", " for command-line arguments\n"' hi...the utf8 flag is on
+ for command-line arguments

$ perl        -e 'print "the utf8 flag is ", utf8::is_utf8(shift) ? "o
+n" : "off", " for command-line arguments\n"' hi...
the utf8 flag is off for command-line arguments

Have you tried the -C option or, equivalently, the PERL_UNICODE environment variable? No, i was not, now i tried and it helped me. After setting PERL_UNICODE=39 i still (just) need set in my script `use utf8; use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)';` [download] Thank you, it anwers my first question! It still does not affect @ENV variables, as applied fellow Almut. Nõnda, WK	[reply] [d/l]

You might want to try PERL_UNICODE=63. I think that will let you drop the 'use open' line.	[reply]
