23 byte - Perl pragma to force byte semantics rather than character semantics
32 WARNING: The implementation of Unicode support in Perl is incomplete.
33 Expect sudden and unannounced changes!
35 The C<use byte> pragma disables character semantics for the rest of the
36 lexical scope in which it appears. C<no byte> can be used to reverse
37 the effect of C<use byte> within the current lexical scope.
39 Perl normally assumes character semantics in the presence of
40 character data (i.e. data that has come from a source that has
41 been marked as being of a particular character encoding).
43 To understand the implications and differences between character
44 semantics and byte semantics, see L<perlunicode>.
