NAME

Test::Stream::Plugin::UTF8 - Test::Stream plugin that enables utf8.

DEPRECATED

This distribution is deprecated in favor of Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow.

See Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2 for a conversion guide.

DESCRIPTION

When used, this plugin will turn on the utf8 pragma, set STDERR and STDOUT to use utf8, and update the Test::Stream output formatter to use utf8.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Stream qw/... UTF8/;

This is the same as

use Test::Stream ...;
use utf8;
BEGIN {
    set_encoding('utf8');
    binmode(STDERR, ':utf8');
    binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8');
}

NOTES

This module sets output handles to have the ':utf8' output layer. Some might prefer ':encoding(utf-8)' which is more strict about verifying characters. There is a debate about wether or not encoding to utf8 from perl internals can ever fail, so it may not matter. This was also chosen because the alternative causes threads to segfault, see perlbug 3193.
