Re^2: Chicanery Needed to Handle Unicode Text on Microsoft Windows

I see a problem with testing

$ perl -le " binmode STDERR, q!:encoding(UTF-16le)!; print join q! !, 
+PerlIO::get_layers( STDERR , details => 1)
unix  18895360 crlf  13193728 encoding UTF-16LE 13144576

$ perl -le "  print join q! !, PerlIO::get_layers( STDERR , details =>
+ 1)
unix  18895360 crlf  13193728

$ perl -le "  binmode STDERR;  print join q! !, PerlIO::get_layers( ST
+DERR , details => 1)
unix  18895360 crlf  13177344

$ perl -le "  binmode STDERR, q!:encoding(UTF-16le)!;  print join q! !
+, PerlIO::get_layers( STDERR , details => 1)
unix  18895360 crlf  13193728 encoding UTF-16LE 13144576

$ perl -le "  binmode STDERR, q!:raw:perlio:encoding(UTF-16le):crlf!; 
+ print join q! !, PerlIO::get_layers( STDERR , details => 1)
unix  18895360 crlf  13193728 perlio  13111808 encoding UTF-16LE 13144

So there is a bug somewhere

Yes, the workaround doesn't work with binmode, only with open. See Re: PerlIO: crlf layer on Windows interfering with UCS-2 unicode.	[reply]
