NAME

encoding::source - allows you to write your script in non-ascii or non-utf8

DEPRECATION NOTICE

NOTE: This module relies on the internal perl variable ${^ENCODING}, which is deprecated in perl 5.22.0. In this perl version the encoding pragma has been made lexical, which removes the usefulness of this module.

SYNOPSIS

use encoding::source 'utf8';
no encoding::source; # back to latin-1

{
  use encoding::source 'utf8';
  # ...
}
# back to latin-1

DESCRIPTION

This pragma allows to change the default encoding for string literals in the current lexical compilation unit (block or file).

This is like the encoding pragma (pre-5.22.0), but done right:

  • It doesn't mess with the STDIN and STDOUT filehandles.

  • It's lexically scoped and its effect doesn't leak into other files.
