NAME
Test::Stream::Plugin::UTF8 - Test::Stream plugin that enables utf8.
EXPERIMENTAL CODE WARNING
This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.
PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.
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/-V1 UTF8/;This is the same as
use Test::Stream '-V1';
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.
