|
|
# NOT use the feature of encoding pragma allowing you to write your script |

=head1 ABSTRACT |
| 211 |
|
|
|
| 212 |
|
|
Let's start with a bit of history: Perl 5.6.0 introduced Unicode |
| 213 |
|
|
support. You could apply C<substr()> and regexes even to complex CJK |
| 214 |
|
|
characters -- so long as the script was written in UTF-8. But back |
| 215 |
|
|
then, text editors that supported UTF-8 were still rare and many users |
| 216 |
|
|
instead chose to write scripts in legacy encodings, giving up a whole |
| 217 |
|
|
new feature of Perl 5.6. |
| 218 |
|
|
|
| 219 |
|
|
Rewind to the future: starting from perl 5.8.0 with the B<encoding> |
| 220 |
|
|
pragma, you can write your script in any encoding you like (so long |
| 221 |
|
|
as the C<Encode> module supports it) and still enjoy Unicode support. |
| 222 |
|
|
This pragma achieves that by doing the following: |
| 223 |
|
|
|
| 224 |
|
|
=over |
| 225 |
|
|
|
| 226 |
|
|
=item * |
| 227 |
|
|
|
| 228 |
|
|
Internally converts all literals (C<q//,qq//,qr//,qw///, qx//>) from |
| 229 |
|
|
the encoding specified to utf8. In Perl 5.8.1 and later, literals in |
| 230 |
|
|
C<tr///> and C<DATA> pseudo-filehandle are also converted. |
| 231 |
|
|
|
| 232 |
|
|
=item * |
| 233 |
|
|
|
| 234 |
|
|
Changing PerlIO layers of C<STDIN> and C<STDOUT> to the encoding |
| 235 |
|
|
specified. |

|
=head2 Literal Conversions |
| 240 |
|
|
|
| 241 |
|
|
You can write code in EUC-JP as follows: |
| 242 |
|
|
|
| 243 |
|
|
my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji |
| 244 |
|
|
#<-char-><-char-> # 4 octets |
| 245 |
|
|
s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
| 246 |
|
|
|
| 247 |
|
|
And with C<use encoding "euc-jp"> in effect, it is the same thing as |
| 248 |
|
|
the code in UTF-8: |
| 249 |
|
|
|
| 250 |
|
|
my $Rakuda = "\x{99F1}\x{99DD}"; # two Unicode Characters |
| 251 |
|
|
s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
| 252 |
|
|
|
| 253 |
|
|
=head2 PerlIO layers for C<STD(IN|OUT)> |
| 254 |
|
|
|
| 255 |
|
|
The B<encoding> pragma also modifies the filehandle layers of |
| 256 |
|
|
STDIN and STDOUT to the specified encoding. Therefore, |
| 257 |
|
|
|
| 258 |
|
|
use encoding "euc-jp"; |
| 259 |
|
|
my $message = "Camel is the symbol of perl.\n"; |
| 260 |
|
|
my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji |
| 261 |
|
|
$message =~ s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
| 262 |
|
|
print $message; |
| 263 |
|
|
|
| 264 |
|
|
Will print "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC is the symbol of perl.\n", |
| 265 |
|
|
not "\x{99F1}\x{99DD} is the symbol of perl.\n". |
| 266 |
|
|
|
| 267 |
|
|
You can override this by giving extra arguments; see below. |
| 268 |
|
|
|
| 269 |
|
|
=head2 Implicit upgrading for byte strings |
| 270 |
|
|
|
| 271 |
|
|
By default, if strings operating under byte semantics and strings |
| 272 |
|
|
with Unicode character data are concatenated, the new string will |
| 273 |
|
|
be created by decoding the byte strings as I<ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1)>. |
| 274 |
|
|
|
| 275 |
|
|
The B<encoding> pragma changes this to use the specified encoding |
| 276 |
|
|
instead. For example: |
| 277 |
|
|
|
| 278 |
|
|
use encoding 'utf8'; |
| 279 |
|
|
my $string = chr(20000); # a Unicode string |
| 280 |
|
|
utf8::encode($string); # now it's a UTF-8 encoded byte string |
| 281 |
|
|
# concatenate with another Unicode string |
| 282 |
|
|
print length($string . chr(20000)); |
| 283 |
|
|
|
| 284 |
|
|
Will print C<2>, because C<$string> is upgraded as UTF-8. Without |
| 285 |
|
|
C<use encoding 'utf8';>, it will print C<4> instead, since C<$string> |
| 286 |
|
|
is three octets when interpreted as Latin-1. |
| 287 |
|
|
|
| 288 |
|
|
=head1 FEATURES THAT REQUIRE 5.8.1 |
| 289 |
|
|
|
| 290 |
|
|
Some of the features offered by this pragma requires perl 5.8.1. Most |
| 291 |
|
|
of these are done by Inaba Hiroto. Any other features and changes |
| 292 |
|
|
are good for 5.8.0. |
| 293 |
|
|
|
| 294 |
|
|
=over |
| 295 |
|
|
|
| 296 |
|
|
=item "NON-EUC" doublebyte encodings |
| 297 |
|
|
|
| 298 |
|
|
Because perl needs to parse script before applying this pragma, such |
| 299 |
|
|
encodings as Shift_JIS and Big-5 that may contain '\' (BACKSLASH; |
| 300 |
|
|
\x5c) in the second byte fails because the second byte may |
| 301 |
|
|
accidentally escape the quoting character that follows. Perl 5.8.1 |
| 302 |
|
|
or later fixes this problem. |
| 303 |
|
|
|
| 304 |
|
|
=item tr// |
| 305 |
|
|
|
| 306 |
|
|
C<tr//> was overlooked by Perl 5 porters when they released perl 5.8.0 |
| 307 |
|
|
See the section below for details. |
| 308 |
|
|
|
| 309 |
|
|
=item DATA pseudo-filehandle |
| 310 |
|
|
|
| 311 |
|
|
Another feature that was overlooked was C<DATA>. |

=item use encoding [I<ENCNAME>] ; |
| 320 |
|
|
|
| 321 |
|
|
Sets the script encoding to I<ENCNAME>. And unless ${^UNICODE} |
| 322 |
|
|
exists and non-zero, PerlIO layers of STDIN and STDOUT are set to |
| 323 |
|
|
":encoding(I<ENCNAME>)". |

|
|
| 325 |
|
|
Note that STDERR WILL NOT be changed. |
| 326 |
|
|
|
| 327 |
|
|
Also note that non-STD file handles remain unaffected. Use C<use |

| 332 |
|
|
'I<ENCNAME>'> will be thrown. |

|

|
|
You can also individually set encodings of STDIN and STDOUT via the |
| 337 |
|
|
C<< STDIN => I<ENCNAME> >> form. In this case, you cannot omit the |
| 338 |
|
|
first I<ENCNAME>. C<< STDIN => undef >> turns the IO transcoding |
| 339 |
|
|
completely off. |

|
|
|
| 341 |
|
|
When ${^UNICODE} exists and non-zero, these options will completely |
| 342 |
|
|
ignored. ${^UNICODE} is a variable introduced in perl 5.8.1. See |
| 343 |
|
|
L<perlrun> see L<perlvar/"${^UNICODE}"> and L<perlrun/"-C"> for |
| 344 |
|

details (perl 5.8.1 and later). |

|
=item use encoding I<ENCNAME> Filter=E<gt>1; |
| 347 |
|
|
|
| 348 |
|
|
This turns the encoding pragma into a source filter. While the |
| 349 |
|
|
default approach just decodes interpolated literals (in qq() and |
| 350 |
|
|
qr()), this will apply a source filter to the entire source code. See |
| 351 |
|
|
L</"The Filter Option"> below for details. |

|
|
reset to ":raw" (the default unprocessed raw stream of bytes). |

=head1 The Filter Option |
| 361 |
|
|
|
| 362 |
|
|
The magic of C<use encoding> is not applied to the names of |
| 363 |
|
|
identifiers. In order to make C<${"\x{4eba}"}++> ($human++, where human |
| 364 |
|
|
is a single Han ideograph) work, you still need to write your script |
| 365 |
|
|
in UTF-8 -- or use a source filter. That's what 'Filter=>1' does. |
| 366 |
|
|
|
| 367 |
|
|
What does this mean? Your source code behaves as if it is written in |
| 368 |
|
|
UTF-8 with 'use utf8' in effect. So even if your editor only supports |
| 369 |
|
|
Shift_JIS, for example, you can still try examples in Chapter 15 of |
| 370 |
|
|
C<Programming Perl, 3rd Ed.>. For instance, you can use UTF-8 |
| 371 |
|
|
identifiers. |
| 372 |
|
|
|
| 373 |
|
|
This option is significantly slower and (as of this writing) non-ASCII |
| 374 |
|
|
identifiers are not very stable WITHOUT this option and with the |
| 375 |
|
|
source code written in UTF-8. |

| 397 |
|
|
|
| 398 |
|
|
The pragma is a per script, not a per block lexical. Only the last |
| 399 |
|
|
C<use encoding> or C<no encoding> matters, and it affects |
| 400 |
|
|
B<the whole script>. However, the <no encoding> pragma is supported and |
| 401 |
|
|
B<use encoding> can appear as many times as you want in a given script. |
| 402 |
|
|
The multiple use of this pragma is discouraged. |
| 403 |
|
|
|
| 404 |
|
|
By the same reason, the use this pragma inside modules is also |
| 405 |
|
|
discouraged (though not as strongly discouranged as the case above. |
| 406 |
|
|
See below). |
| 407 |
|
|
|
| 408 |
|
|
If you still have to write a module with this pragma, be very careful |
| 409 |
|
|
of the load order. See the codes below; |
| 410 |
|
|
|
| 411 |
|
|
# called module |
| 412 |
|
|
package Module_IN_BAR; |
| 413 |
|
|
use encoding "bar"; |
| 414 |
|
|
# stuff in "bar" encoding here |
| 415 |
|
|
1; |
| 416 |
|
|
|
| 417 |
|
|
# caller script |
| 418 |
|
|
use encoding "foo" |
| 419 |
|
|
use Module_IN_BAR; |
| 420 |
|
|
# surprise! use encoding "bar" is in effect. |
| 421 |
|
|
|
| 422 |
|
|
The best way to avoid this oddity is to use this pragma RIGHT AFTER |
| 423 |
|
|
other modules are loaded. i.e. |
| 424 |
|
|
|
| 425 |
|
|
use Module_IN_BAR; |
| 426 |
|
|
use encoding "foo"; |
| 427 |
|
|
|
| 428 |
|
|
=head2 DO NOT MIX MULTIPLE ENCODINGS |
| 429 |
|
|
|
| 430 |
|
|
Notice that only literals (string or regular expression) having only |
| 431 |
|
|
legacy code points are affected: if you mix data like this |
| 432 |
|
|
|
| 433 |
|
|
\xDF\x{100} |
| 434 |
|
|
|
| 435 |
|
|
the data is assumed to be in (Latin 1 and) Unicode, not in your native |
| 436 |
|
|
encoding. In other words, this will match in "greek": |
| 437 |
|
|
|
| 438 |
|
|
"\xDF" =~ /\x{3af}/ |
| 439 |
|
|
|
| 440 |
|
|
but this will not |
| 441 |
|
|
|
| 442 |
|
|
"\xDF\x{100}" =~ /\x{3af}\x{100}/ |
| 443 |
|
|
|
| 444 |
|
|
since the C<\xDF> (ISO 8859-7 GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) on |
| 445 |
|
|
the left will B<not> be upgraded to C<\x{3af}> (Unicode GREEK SMALL |
| 446 |
|
|
LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) because of the C<\x{100}> on the left. You |
| 447 |
|
|
should not be mixing your legacy data and Unicode in the same string. |
| 448 |
|
|
|
| 449 |
|
|
This pragma also affects encoding of the 0x80..0xFF code point range: |
| 450 |
|
|
normally characters in that range are left as eight-bit bytes (unless |
| 451 |
|
|
they are combined with characters with code points 0x100 or larger, |
| 452 |
|
|
in which case all characters need to become UTF-8 encoded), but if |
| 453 |
|
|
the C<encoding> pragma is present, even the 0x80..0xFF range always |
| 454 |
|
|
gets UTF-8 encoded. |
| 455 |
|
|
|
| 456 |
|
|
After all, the best thing about this pragma is that you don't have to |
| 457 |
|
|
resort to \x{....} just to spell your name in a native encoding. |
| 458 |
|
|
So feel free to put your strings in your encoding in quotes and |
| 459 |
|
|
regexes. |

|
C<q//,qq//,qr//,qw///, qx//> and so forth. In perl 5.8.0, this |
| 465 |
|
|
does not apply to C<tr///>. Therefore, |

This counterintuitive behavior has been fixed in perl 5.8.1. |

|
|
|
| 491 |
|
|
=head3 workaround to tr///; |
| 492 |
|
|
|
| 493 |
|
|
In perl 5.8.0, you can work around as follows; |
| 494 |
|
|
|
| 495 |
|
|
use encoding 'euc-jp'; |
| 496 |
|
|
# .... |
| 497 |
|
|
eval qq{ \$kana =~ tr/\xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3/\xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3/ }; |
| 498 |
|
|
|
| 499 |
|
|
Note the C<tr//> expression is surrounded by C<qq{}>. The idea behind |
| 500 |
|
|
is the same as classic idiom that makes C<tr///> 'interpolate'. |
| 501 |
|
|
|
| 502 |
|
|
tr/$from/$to/; # wrong! |
| 503 |
|
|
eval qq{ tr/$from/$to/ }; # workaround. |
| 504 |
|
|
|
| 505 |
|
|
Nevertheless, in case of B<encoding> pragma even C<q//> is affected so |
| 506 |
|
|
C<tr///> not being decoded was obviously against the will of Perl5 |
| 507 |
|
|
Porters so it has been fixed in Perl 5.8.1 or later. |

|
| 548 |
|
|
For native multibyte encodings (either fixed or variable length), |
| 549 |
|
|
the current implementation of the regular expressions may introduce |
| 550 |
|
|
recoding errors for regular expression literals longer than 127 bytes. |

The encoding pragma is not supported on EBCDIC platforms. |
| 555 |

|
(Porters who are willing and able to remove this limitation are |
| 556 |

| 558 |
|
|
=item format |
| 559 |
|
|
|
| 560 |
|
|
This pragma doesn't work well with format because PerlIO does not |
| 561 |
|
|
get along very well with it. When format contains non-ascii |
| 562 |
|
|
characters it prints funny or gets "wide character warnings". |
| 563 |
|
|
To understand it, try the code below. |
| 564 |
|
|
|
| 565 |
|
|
# Save this one in utf8 |
| 566 |
|
|
# replace *non-ascii* with a non-ascii string |
| 567 |
|
|
my $camel; |
| 568 |
|
|
format STDOUT = |
| 569 |
|
|
*non-ascii*@>>>>>>> |
| 570 |
|
|
$camel |
| 571 |
|
|
. |
| 572 |
|
|
$camel = "*non-ascii*"; |
| 573 |
|
|
binmode(STDOUT=>':encoding(utf8)'); # bang! |
| 574 |
|
|
write; # funny |
| 575 |
|
|
print $camel, "\n"; # fine |
| 576 |
|
|
|
| 577 |
|
|
Without binmode this happens to work but without binmode, print() |
| 578 |
|
|
fails instead of write(). |
| 579 |
|
|
|
| 580 |
|
|
At any rate, the very use of format is questionable when it comes to |
| 581 |
|
|
unicode characters since you have to consider such things as character |
| 582 |
|
|
width (i.e. double-width for ideographs) and directions (i.e. BIDI for |
| 583 |
|
|
Arabic and Hebrew). |

|
|
variables LC_ALL and LANG (in that order) are matched for encodings |
| 602 |
|
|
(the part after C<.>, if any), and if any found, that is used |
| 603 |
|
|
as the default encoding for the open pragma. |

| 608 |
|
|
(in that order) are matched for anything looking like UTF-8, and if |

|
|
any found, C<:utf8> is used as the default encoding for the open |

| 620 |
|
|
|
| 621 |
|
|
This pragma first appeared in Perl 5.8.0. For features that require |
| 622 |
|
|
5.8.1 and better, see above. |
| 623 |
|
|
|
| 624 |
|
|
The C<:locale> subpragma was implemented in 2.01, or Perl 5.8.6. |
