I put the `strict` there even when using 5.12 or above because it documents what’s going on, and because I alas find myself downgrading to 5.10.1 now and again, and don’t want to lose things. In general, I’m for several reasons opposed to non‐pragmas diddling their caller’s scope’s lexical hints in non‐obvious ways unrelated to that module’s purpose; that’s just too `Acme::` for my tastes. But I do consider `use 5.012` a pragma — that is, a compiler declaration that can alter the rules of engagement. And no, the necessary `binmod`ing of `DATA` is triggered neither by `use utf8` nor by `use open ":utf8"`. Go figger. 😾 I have as little to do with UTF‑16 as I possibly can. 🙈 🙉 🙊 Anything that makes me deal with individual code units is such a lose that I just want to kick the people who afflicted the world with this idiocy. Aren’t you glad we don’t have to count code units in Perl? 😹 I see my stalker is back. Yawn!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The big question is: Where do you get a font with a "pouting cat face?" Never mind, I didn’t have symbola, installed on this computer. What are you using to type? I see you have U+2010 HYPHEN instead of the ASCII hyphin-minus character. I find wide strings to be a pain in C++/Windows. I suppose it was a good idea at the time of development of NT 3, since UTF-8 was a footnote and not the force for good as we understand it today. Still, at some point they could have made the "code page" for UTF-8 (which is defined) work correctly for the 8-bit char API functions. For all I know it should: it just wraps the native calls around a call to convert, and the convert function handles that one, right?	[reply]
