What character encodings does Perl support? Which version of perl should I use? What about binary data, like images? When should I decode or encode? What if I don't decode? What if I don't encode? Is there a way to automatically decode or encode? What if I don't know which encoding was used? Can I use Unicode in my Perl sources? Data::Dumper doesn't restore the UTF8 flag; is it broken? Why do regex character classes sometimes match only in the ASCII range? Why do some characters not uppercase or lowercase correctly? How can I determine if a string is a text string or a binary string? How do I convert from encoding FOO to encoding BAR? What are "decode_utf8" and "encode_utf8"? What is a "wide character"? INTERNALS What is "the UTF8 flag"? What about the "use bytes" pragma? What about the "use encoding" pragma? What is the difference between ":encoding" and ":utf8"? What's the difference between "UTF-8" and "utf8"? I lost track; what encoding is the internal format really?

Using "auto_features", I check to see whether two optional modules are available - SVN::Notify::Config and Net::SSH;, 2. If the S::N::Config module is loaded, I automatically generate test files for it during Build (using the "PL_files" property), 3. If the "ssh_feature" is available, I ask if the user wishes to perform the ssh tests (since it requires a little preliminary setup);, 4.
