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.

SEE ALSO

Encode, encoding
