utf8::all(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation utf8::all(3pm) NAME
utf8::all - turn on Unicode - all of it VERSION
version 0.004 SYNOPSIS
use utf8::all; # Turn on UTF-8. All of it. open my $in, '<', 'contains-utf8'; # UTF-8 already turned on here print length 'foo bXr'; # 7 UTF-8 characters my $utf8_arg = shift @ARGV; # @ARGV is UTF-8 too! DESCRIPTION
utf8 allows you to write your Perl encoded in UTF-8. That means UTF-8 strings, variable names, and regular expressions. "utf8::all" goes further, and makes @ARGV encoded in UTF-8, and filehandles are opened with UTF-8 encoding turned on by default (including STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR), and charnames are imported so "N{...}" sequences can be used to compile Unicode characters based on names. If you don't want UTF-8 for a particular filehandle, you'll have to set "binmode $filehandle". The pragma is lexically-scoped, so you can do the following if you had some reason to: { use utf8::all; open my $out, '>', 'outfile'; my $utf8_str = 'foo bXr'; print length $utf8_str, " "; # 7 print $out $utf8_str; # out as utf8 } open my $in, '<', 'outfile'; # in as raw my $text = do { local $/; <$in>}; print length $text, " "; # 10, not 7!
