122 | =head1 ABSTRACT |
123 | |
962111ca |
124 | Let's start with a bit of history: Perl 5.6.0 introduced Unicode |
125 | support. You could apply C<substr()> and regexes even to complex CJK |
126 | characters -- so long as the script was written in UTF-8. But back |
127 | then text editors that supported UTF-8 were still rare and many users |
128 | rather chose to write scripts in legacy encodings, given up whole new |
129 | feature of Perl 5.6. |
3ef515df |
130 | |
962111ca |
131 | Rewind to the future: starting from perl 5.8.0 with B<encoding> |
132 | pragma, you can write your script in any encoding you like (so long |
133 | as the C<Encode> module supports it) and still enjoy Unicode support. |
134 | You can write a code in EUC-JP as follows: |
3ef515df |
135 | |
136 | my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji |
137 | #<-char-><-char-> # 4 octets |
138 | s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
139 | |
140 | And with C<use encoding "euc-jp"> in effect, it is the same thing as |
962111ca |
141 | the code in UTF-8: |
3ef515df |
142 | |
143 | my $Rakuda = "\x{99F1}\x{99DD}"; # who Unicode Characters |
144 | s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
145 | |
962111ca |
146 | The B<encoding> pragma also modifies the filehandle disciplines of |
3ef515df |
147 | STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR to the specified encoding. Therefore, |
148 | |
149 | use encoding "euc-jp"; |
150 | my $message = "Camel is the symbol of perl.\n"; |
151 | my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji |
152 | $message =~ s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/; |
153 | print $message; |
154 | |
962111ca |
155 | Will print "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC is the symbol of perl.\n", |
156 | not "\x{99F1}\x{99DD} is the symbol of perl.\n". |
3ef515df |
157 | |
962111ca |
158 | You can override this by giving extra arguments, see below. |
3ef515df |
159 | |
160 | =head1 USAGE |
161 | |
162 | =over 4 |
163 | |
164 | =item use encoding [I<ENCNAME>] ; |
165 | |
962111ca |
166 | Sets the script encoding to I<ENCNAME> and filehandle disciplines of |
167 | STDIN, STDOUT are set to ":encoding(I<ENCNAME>)". Note STDERR will |
168 | not be changed. |
3ef515df |
169 | |
170 | If no encoding is specified, the environment variable L<PERL_ENCODING> |
962111ca |
171 | is consulted. If no encoding can be found, the error C<Unknown encoding |
172 | 'I<ENCNAME>'> will be thrown. |
3ef515df |
173 | |
174 | Note that non-STD file handles remain unaffected. Use C<use open> or |
175 | C<binmode> to change disciplines of those. |
176 | |
aae85ceb |
177 | =item use encoding I<ENCNAME> [ STDIN =E<gt> I<ENCNAME_IN> ...] ; |
3ef515df |
178 | |
aae85ceb |
179 | You can also individually set encodings of STDIN and STDOUT via |
180 | STDI<FH> =E<gt> I<ENCNAME_FH> form. In this case, you cannot omit the |
962111ca |
181 | first I<ENCNAME>. C<STDI<FH> =E<gt> undef> turns the IO transcoding |
aae85ceb |
182 | completely off. |
3ef515df |
183 | |
184 | =item no encoding; |
185 | |
f2a2953c |
186 | Unsets the script encoding and the disciplines of STDIN, STDOUT are |
962111ca |
187 | reset to ":raw" (the default unprocessed raw stream of bytes). |
3ef515df |
188 | |
189 | =back |
190 | |
191 | =head1 CAVEATS |
192 | |
193 | =head2 NOT SCOPED |
194 | |
195 | The pragma is a per script, not a per block lexical. Only the last |
196 | C<use encoding> or C<matters, and it affects B<the whole script>. |
962111ca |
197 | However, <no encoding> pragma is supported and C<use encoding> can |
198 | appear as many times as you want in a given script. The multiple use |
3ef515df |
199 | of this pragma is discouraged. |
200 | |
201 | =head2 DO NOT MIX MULTIPLE ENCODINGS |
202 | |
203 | Notice that only literals (string or regular expression) having only |
204 | legacy code points are affected: if you mix data like this |
205 | |
206 | \xDF\x{100} |
207 | |
208 | the data is assumed to be in (Latin 1 and) Unicode, not in your native |
209 | encoding. In other words, this will match in "greek": |
210 | |
211 | "\xDF" =~ /\x{3af}/ |
212 | |
213 | but this will not |
214 | |
215 | "\xDF\x{100}" =~ /\x{3af}\x{100}/ |
216 | |
962111ca |
217 | since the C<\xDF> (ISO 8859-7 GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) on |
218 | the left will B<not> be upgraded to C<\x{3af}> (Unicode GREEK SMALL |
219 | LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) because of the C<\x{100}> on the left. You |
220 | should not be mixing your legacy data and Unicode in the same string. |
3ef515df |
221 | |
222 | This pragma also affects encoding of the 0x80..0xFF code point range: |
223 | normally characters in that range are left as eight-bit bytes (unless |
224 | they are combined with characters with code points 0x100 or larger, |
225 | in which case all characters need to become UTF-8 encoded), but if |
226 | the C<encoding> pragma is present, even the 0x80..0xFF range always |
227 | gets UTF-8 encoded. |
228 | |
229 | After all, the best thing about this pragma is that you don't have to |
962111ca |
230 | resort to \x... just to spell your name in native a encoding. So feel |
3ef515df |
231 | free to put your strings in your encoding in quotes and regexes. |
232 | |
962111ca |
233 | =head1 Non-ASCII Identifiers and Filter option |
aae85ceb |
234 | |
962111ca |
235 | The magic of C<use encoding> is not applied to the names of |
236 | identifiers. In order to make C<${"4eba"}++> ($human++, where human |
237 | is a single Han ideograph) work, you still need to write your script |
238 | in UTF-8 or use a source filter. |
aae85ceb |
239 | |
240 | In other words, the same restriction as Jperl applies. |
241 | |
962111ca |
242 | If you dare to experiment, however, you can try Filter option. |
aae85ceb |
243 | |
244 | =over 4 |
245 | |
246 | =item use encoding I<ENCNAME> Filter=E<gt>1; |
247 | |
248 | This turns encoding pragma into source filter. While the default |
249 | approach just decodes interpolated literals (in qq() and qr()), this |
250 | will apply source filter to entire source code. In this case, STDIN |
251 | and STDOUT remain untouched. |
252 | |
253 | =back |
254 | |
962111ca |
255 | What does this mean? Your source code behaves as if it is written in |
256 | UTF-8. So even if your editor only supports Shift_JIS, for example. |
257 | You can still try examples in Chapter 15 of C<Programming Perl, 3rd |
258 | Ed.> For instance, you can use UTF-8 identifiers. |
aae85ceb |
259 | |
260 | This option is significantly slower and (as of this writing) non-ASCII |
261 | identifiers are not very stable WITHOUT this option and with the |
262 | source code written in UTF-8. |
263 | |
962111ca |
264 | To make your script in legacy encoding work with minimum effort, |
265 | do not use Filter=E<gt>1. |
aae85ceb |
266 | |

267 | =head1 EXAMPLE - Greekperl |
268 | |
269 | use encoding "iso 8859-7"; |
270 | |
271 | # The \xDF of ISO 8859-7 (Greek) is \x{3af} in Unicode. |
272 | |
273 | $a = "\xDF"; |
274 | $b = "\x{100}"; |
275 | |
276 | printf "%#x\n", ord($a); # will print 0x3af, not 0xdf |
277 | |
278 | $c = $a . $b; |
279 | |
280 | # $c will be "\x{3af}\x{100}", not "\x{df}\x{100}". |
281 | |
282 | # chr() is affected, and ... |
283 | |
284 | print "mega\n" if ord(chr(0xdf)) == 0x3af; |
285 | |
286 | # ... ord() is affected by the encoding pragma ... |
287 | |
288 | print "tera\n" if ord(pack("C", 0xdf)) == 0x3af; |
289 | |
290 | # ... as are eq and cmp ... |
291 | |
292 | print "peta\n" if "\x{3af}" eq pack("C", 0xdf); |
293 | print "exa\n" if "\x{3af}" cmp pack("C", 0xdf) == 0; |
294 | |
295 | # ... but pack/unpack C are not affected, in case you still |
296 | # want back to your native encoding |
297 | |
298 | print "zetta\n" if unpack("C", (pack("C", 0xdf))) == 0xdf; |
299 | |
300 | =head1 KNOWN PROBLEMS |
301 | |
302 | For native multibyte encodings (either fixed or variable length) |
303 | the current implementation of the regular expressions may introduce |
304 | recoding errors for longer regular expression literals than 127 bytes. |
305 | |
306 | The encoding pragma is not supported on EBCDIC platforms. |
307 | (Porters wanted.) |
