90=head1 NAME
91
92encoding - allows you to write your script in non-asii or non-utf8
93
94=head1 SYNOPSIS
95
96 use encoding "euc-jp"; # Jperl!
97
98 # or you can even do this if your shell supports euc-jp
99
100 > perl -Mencoding=euc-jp -e '...'
101
102 # or from the shebang line
103
104 #!/your/path/to/perl -Mencoding=euc-jp
105
106 # more control
107
108 # A simple euc-jp => utf-8 converter
109 use encoding "euc-jp", STDOUT => "utf8"; while(<>){print};
110
111 # "no encoding;" supported (but not scoped!)
112 no encoding;
113
aae85ceb 114 # an alternate way, Filter
115 use encoding "euc-jp", Filter=>1;
116 use utf8;
117 # now you can use kanji identifiers -- in euc-jp!

3ef515df 119=head1 ABSTRACT
120
121Perl 5.6.0 has introduced Unicode support. You could apply
122C<substr()> and regexes even to complex CJK characters -- so long as
123the script was written in UTF-8. But back then text editors that
124support UTF-8 was still rare and many users rather chose to writer
125scripts in legacy encodings, given up whole new feature of Perl 5.6.
126
127With B<encoding> pragma, you can write your script in any encoding you like
128(so long as the C<Encode> module supports it) and still enjoy Unicode
129support. You can write a code in EUC-JP as follows;
130
131 my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji
132 #<-char-><-char-> # 4 octets
133 s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/;
134
135And with C<use encoding "euc-jp"> in effect, it is the same thing as
136the code in UTF-8 as follow.
137
138 my $Rakuda = "\x{99F1}\x{99DD}"; # who Unicode Characters
139 s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/;
140
141The B<encoding> pragma also modifies the file handle disciplines of
142STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR to the specified encoding. Therefore,
143
144 use encoding "euc-jp";
145 my $message = "Camel is the symbol of perl.\n";
146 my $Rakuda = "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC"; # Camel in Kanji
147 $message =~ s/\bCamel\b/$Rakuda/;
148 print $message;
149
150Will print "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC is the symbol of perl.\n", not
151"\x{99F1}\x{99DD} is the symbol of perl.\n".
152
153You can override this by giving extra arguments. See below.
154
155=head1 USAGE
156
157=over 4
158
159=item use encoding [I<ENCNAME>] ;
160
161Sets the script encoding to I<ENCNAME> and file handle disciplines of
f2a2953c 162STDIN, STDOUT are set to ":encoding(I<ENCNAME>)". Note STDERR will not
163be changed.
3ef515df 164
165If no encoding is specified, the environment variable L<PERL_ENCODING>
166is consulted. If no encoding can be found, C<Unknown encoding 'I<ENCNAME>'>
167error will be thrown.
168
169Note that non-STD file handles remain unaffected. Use C<use open> or
170C<binmode> to change disciplines of those.
171
aae85ceb 172=item use encoding I<ENCNAME> [ STDIN =E<gt> I<ENCNAME_IN> ...] ;
3ef515df 173
aae85ceb 174You can also individually set encodings of STDIN and STDOUT via
175STDI<FH> =E<gt> I<ENCNAME_FH> form. In this case, you cannot omit the
176first I<ENCNAME>. C<STDI<FH> =E<gt> undef> turns IO transcoding
177completely off.
3ef515df 178
179=item no encoding;
180
f2a2953c 181Unsets the script encoding and the disciplines of STDIN, STDOUT are
182reset to ":raw".

185
186=head1 CAVEATS
187
188=head2 NOT SCOPED
189
190The pragma is a per script, not a per block lexical. Only the last
191C<use encoding> or C<matters, and it affects B<the whole script>.
192Though <no encoding> pragma is supported and C<use encoding> can
193appear as many times as you want in a given script, the multiple use
194of this pragma is discouraged.
195
196=head2 DO NOT MIX MULTIPLE ENCODINGS
197
198Notice that only literals (string or regular expression) having only
199legacy code points are affected: if you mix data like this
200
201 \xDF\x{100}
202
203the data is assumed to be in (Latin 1 and) Unicode, not in your native
204encoding. In other words, this will match in "greek":
205
206 "\xDF" =~ /\x{3af}/
207
208but this will not
209
210 "\xDF\x{100}" =~ /\x{3af}\x{100}/
211
212since the C<\xDF> on the left will B<not> be upgraded to C<\x{3af}>
213because of the C<\x{100}> on the left. You should not be mixing your
214legacy data and Unicode in the same string.
215
216This pragma also affects encoding of the 0x80..0xFF code point range:
217normally characters in that range are left as eight-bit bytes (unless
218they are combined with characters with code points 0x100 or larger,
219in which case all characters need to become UTF-8 encoded), but if
220the C<encoding> pragma is present, even the 0x80..0xFF range always
221gets UTF-8 encoded.
222
223After all, the best thing about this pragma is that you don't have to
224resort to \x... just to spell your name in native encoding. So feel
225free to put your strings in your encoding in quotes and regexes.
226
aae85ceb 227=head1 NON-ASCII Identifiers and Filter option
228
229The magic of C<use encoding> is not applied to the names of identifiers.
230In order to make C<${"4eba"}++> ($man++, where man is a single ideograph)
231work, you still need to write your script in UTF-8 or use a source filter.
232
233In other words, the same restriction as Jperl applies.
234
235If you dare experiment, however, you can try Fitlter option.
236
237=over 4
238
239=item use encoding I<ENCNAME> Filter=E<gt>1;
240
241This turns encoding pragma into source filter. While the default
242approach just decodes interpolated literals (in qq() and qr()), this
243will apply source filter to entire source code. In this case, STDIN
244and STDOUT remain untouched.
245
246=back
247
248What does this mean? Your source code behaves as if it is written
249in UTF-8. So even if your editor only supports Shift_JIS, for
250example. You can still try examples in Chapter 15 of
251C<Programming Perl, 3rd Ed.> For instance, you can use UTF-8
252identifiers.
253
254This option is significantly slower and (as of this writing) non-ASCII
255identifiers are not very stable WITHOUT this option and with the
256source code written in UTF-8.
257
258To make your script in legacy encoding work with minimum effort, do
259not use Filter=E<gt>1
260
261
3ef515df 262=head1 EXAMPLE - Greekperl
263
264 use encoding "iso 8859-7";
265
266 # The \xDF of ISO 8859-7 (Greek) is \x{3af} in Unicode.
267
268 $a = "\xDF";
269 $b = "\x{100}";
270
271 printf "%#x\n", ord($a); # will print 0x3af, not 0xdf
272
273 $c = $a . $b;
274
275 # $c will be "\x{3af}\x{100}", not "\x{df}\x{100}".
276
277 # chr() is affected, and ...
278
279 print "mega\n" if ord(chr(0xdf)) == 0x3af;
280
281 # ... ord() is affected by the encoding pragma ...
282
283 print "tera\n" if ord(pack("C", 0xdf)) == 0x3af;
284
285 # ... as are eq and cmp ...
286
287 print "peta\n" if "\x{3af}" eq pack("C", 0xdf);
288 print "exa\n" if "\x{3af}" cmp pack("C", 0xdf) == 0;
289
290 # ... but pack/unpack C are not affected, in case you still
291 # want back to your native encoding
292
293 print "zetta\n" if unpack("C", (pack("C", 0xdf))) == 0xdf;
294
295=head1 KNOWN PROBLEMS
296
297For native multibyte encodings (either fixed or variable length)
298the current implementation of the regular expressions may introduce
299recoding errors for longer regular expression literals than 127 bytes.
300
301The encoding pragma is not supported on EBCDIC platforms.
302(Porters wanted.)
