PerlIO::encoding(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PerlIO::encoding(3pm)NAMEPerlIO::encoding - encoding layer
SYNOPSIS
open($f, "<:encoding(foo)", "infoo");
open($f, ">:encoding(bar)", "outbar");
use Encode qw(:fallbacks);
$PerlIO::encoding::fallback = FB_PERLQQ;
DESCRIPTION
Open a filehandle with a transparent encoding filter.
On input, convert the bytes expected to be in the specified character
set and encoding to Perl string data (Unicode and Perl's internal Uni‐
code encoding, UTF-8). On output, convert Perl string data into the
specified character set and encoding.
When the layer is pushed the current value of $PerlIO::encoding::fall‐
back is saved and used as the CHECK argument when calling the Encode
methods encode() and decode().
