176=head1 NAME
177
178encoding - allows you to write your script in non-ascii or non-utf8
179
180=head1 SYNOPSIS
181
182 use encoding "greek"; # Perl like Greek to you?
183 use encoding "euc-jp"; # Jperl!
184
185 # or you can even do this if your shell supports your native encoding
186
187 perl -Mencoding=latin2 -e '...' # Feeling centrally European?
188 perl -Mencoding=euc-kr -e '...' # Or Korean?
189
190 # more control
191
192 # A simple euc-cn => utf-8 converter
193 use encoding "euc-cn", STDOUT => "utf8"; while(<>){print};
194
195 # "no encoding;" supported (but not scoped!)
196 no encoding;
197
198 # an alternate way, Filter
199 use encoding "euc-jp", Filter=>1;
200 # now you can use kanji identifiers -- in euc-jp!
201
202 # switch on locale -
203 # note that this probably means that unless you have a complete control
204 # over the environments the application is ever going to be run, you should
205 # NOT use the feature of encoding pragma allowing you to write your script
206 # in any recognized encoding because changing locale settings will wreck
207 # the script; you can of course still use the other features of the pragma.
208 use encoding ':locale';
209
210=head1 ABSTRACT
211
212Let's start with a bit of history: Perl 5.6.0 introduced Unicode
213support. You could apply C<substr()> and regexes even to complex CJK
214characters -- so long as the script was written in UTF-8. But back
215then, text editors that supported UTF-8 were still rare and many users
216instead chose to write scripts in legacy encodings, giving up a whole
217new feature of Perl 5.6.
218
219Rewind to the future: starting from perl 5.8.0 with the B<encoding>
220pragma, you can write your script in any encoding you like (so long
221as the C<Encode> module supports it) and still enjoy Unicode support.
222This pragma achieves that by doing the following:
223
224=over
225
226=item *
227
228Internally converts all literals (C<q//,qq//,qr//,qw///, qx//>) from
229the encoding specified to utf8. In Perl 5.8.1 and later, literals in
230C<tr///> and C<DATA> pseudo-filehandle are also converted.
231
232=item *
233
234Changing PerlIO layers of C<STDIN> and C<STDOUT> to the encoding
235 specified.
236
237=back
238
239=head2 Literal Conversions
240
241You 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
247And with C<use encoding "euc-jp"> in effect, it is the same thing as
248the 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
255The B<encoding> pragma also modifies the filehandle layers of
256STDIN 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
264Will print "\xF1\xD1\xF1\xCC is the symbol of perl.\n",
265not "\x{99F1}\x{99DD} is the symbol of perl.\n".
266
267You can override this by giving extra arguments; see below.
268
269=head2 Implicit upgrading for byte strings
270
271By default, if strings operating under byte semantics and strings
272with Unicode character data are concatenated, the new string will
273be created by decoding the byte strings as I<ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1)>.
274
275The B<encoding> pragma changes this to use the specified encoding
276instead. 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($string . chr(20000));
283
284Will print C<2>, because C<$string> is upgraded as UTF-8. Without
285C<use encoding 'utf8';>, it will print C<4> instead, since C<$string>
286is three octets when interpreted as Latin-1.
287
288=head1 FEATURES THAT REQUIRE 5.8.1
289
290Some of the features offered by this pragma requires perl 5.8.1. Most
291of these are done by Inaba Hiroto. Any other features and changes
292are good for 5.8.0.
293
294=over
295
296=item "NON-EUC" doublebyte encodings
297
298Because perl needs to parse script before applying this pragma, such
299encodings as Shift_JIS and Big-5 that may contain '\' (BACKSLASH;
300\x5c) in the second byte fails because the second byte may
301accidentally escape the quoting character that follows. Perl 5.8.1
302or later fixes this problem.
303
304=item tr//
305
306C<tr//> was overlooked by Perl 5 porters when they released perl 5.8.0
307See the section below for details.
308
309=item DATA pseudo-filehandle
310
311Another feature that was overlooked was C<DATA>.
312
313=back
314
315=head1 USAGE
316
317=over 4
318
319=item use encoding [I<ENCNAME>] ;
320
321Sets the script encoding to I<ENCNAME>. And unless ${^UNICODE}
322exists and non-zero, PerlIO layers of STDIN and STDOUT are set to
323":encoding(I<ENCNAME>)".
324
325Note that STDERR WILL NOT be changed.
326
327Also note that non-STD file handles remain unaffected. Use C<use
328open> or C<binmode> to change layers of those.
329
330If no encoding is specified, the environment variable L<PERL_ENCODING>
331is consulted. If no encoding can be found, the error C<Unknown encoding
332'I<ENCNAME>'> will be thrown.
333
334=item use encoding I<ENCNAME> [ STDIN =E<gt> I<ENCNAME_IN> ...] ;
335
336You can also individually set encodings of STDIN and STDOUT via the
337C<< STDIN => I<ENCNAME> >> form. In this case, you cannot omit the
338first I<ENCNAME>. C<< STDIN => undef >> turns the IO transcoding
339completely off.
340
341When ${^UNICODE} exists and non-zero, these options will completely
342ignored. ${^UNICODE} is a variable introduced in perl 5.8.1. See
343L<perlrun> see L<perlvar/"${^UNICODE}"> and L<perlrun/"-C"> for
344details (perl 5.8.1 and later).
345
346=item use encoding I<ENCNAME> Filter=E<gt>1;
347
348This turns the encoding pragma into a source filter. While the
349default approach just decodes interpolated literals (in qq() and
350qr()), this will apply a source filter to the entire source code. See
351L</"The Filter Option"> below for details.
352
353=item no encoding;
354
355Unsets the script encoding. The layers of STDIN, STDOUT are
356reset to ":raw" (the default unprocessed raw stream of bytes).
357
358=back
359
360=head1 The Filter Option
361
362The magic of C<use encoding> is not applied to the names of
363identifiers. In order to make C<${"\x{4eba}"}++> ($human++, where human
364is a single Han ideograph) work, you still need to write your script
365in UTF-8 -- or use a source filter. That's what 'Filter=>1' does.
366
367What does this mean? Your source code behaves as if it is written in
368UTF-8 with 'use utf8' in effect. So even if your editor only supports
369Shift_JIS, for example, you can still try examples in Chapter 15 of
370C<Programming Perl, 3rd Ed.>. For instance, you can use UTF-8
371identifiers.
372
373This option is significantly slower and (as of this writing) non-ASCII
374identifiers are not very stable WITHOUT this option and with the
375source code written in UTF-8.
376
377=head2 Filter-related changes at Encode version 1.87
378
379=over
380
381=item *
382
383The Filter option now sets STDIN and STDOUT like non-filter options.
384And C<< STDIN=>I<ENCODING> >> and C<< STDOUT=>I<ENCODING> >> work like
385non-filter version.
386
387=item *
388
389C<use utf8> is implicitly declared so you no longer have to C<use
390utf8> to C<${"\x{4eba}"}++>.
391
392=back
393
394=head1 CAVEATS
395
396=head2 NOT SCOPED
397
398The pragma is a per script, not a per block lexical. Only the last
399C<use encoding> or C<no encoding> matters, and it affects
400B<the whole script>. However, the <no encoding> pragma is supported and
401B<use encoding> can appear as many times as you want in a given script.
402The multiple use of this pragma is discouraged.
403
404By the same reason, the use this pragma inside modules is also
405discouraged (though not as strongly discouraged as the case above.
406See below).
407
408If you still have to write a module with this pragma, be very careful
409of 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
422The best way to avoid this oddity is to use this pragma RIGHT AFTER
423other modules are loaded. i.e.
424
425 use Module_IN_BAR;
426 use encoding "foo";
427
428=head2 DO NOT MIX MULTIPLE ENCODINGS
429
430Notice that only literals (string or regular expression) having only
431legacy code points are affected: if you mix data like this
432
433 \xDF\x{100}
434
435the data is assumed to be in (Latin 1 and) Unicode, not in your native
436encoding. In other words, this will match in "greek":
437
438 "\xDF" =~ /\x{3af}/
439
440but this will not
441
442 "\xDF\x{100}" =~ /\x{3af}\x{100}/
443
444since the C<\xDF> (ISO 8859-7 GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) on
445the left will B<not> be upgraded to C<\x{3af}> (Unicode GREEK SMALL
446LETTER IOTA WITH TONOS) because of the C<\x{100}> on the left. You
447should not be mixing your legacy data and Unicode in the same string.
448
449This pragma also affects encoding of the 0x80..0xFF code point range:
450normally characters in that range are left as eight-bit bytes (unless
451they are combined with characters with code points 0x100 or larger,
452in which case all characters need to become UTF-8 encoded), but if
453the C<encoding> pragma is present, even the 0x80..0xFF range always
454gets UTF-8 encoded.
455
456After all, the best thing about this pragma is that you don't have to
457resort to \x{....} just to spell your name in a native encoding.
458So feel free to put your strings in your encoding in quotes and
459regexes.
460
461=head2 tr/// with ranges
462
463The B<encoding> pragma works by decoding string literals in
464C<q//,qq//,qr//,qw///, qx//> and so forth. In perl 5.8.0, this
465does not apply to C<tr///>. Therefore,
466
467 use encoding 'euc-jp';
468 #....
469 $kana =~ tr/\xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3/\xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3/;
470 # -------- -------- -------- --------
471
472Does not work as
473
474 $kana =~ tr/\x{3041}-\x{3093}/\x{30a1}-\x{30f3}/;
475
476=over
477
478=item Legend of characters above
479
480 utf8 euc-jp charnames::viacode()
481 -----------------------------------------
482 \x{3041} \xA4\xA1 HIRAGANA LETTER SMALL A
483 \x{3093} \xA4\xF3 HIRAGANA LETTER N
484 \x{30a1} \xA5\xA1 KATAKANA LETTER SMALL A
485 \x{30f3} \xA5\xF3 KATAKANA LETTER N
486
487=back
488
489This counterintuitive behavior has been fixed in perl 5.8.1.
490
491=head3 workaround to tr///;
492
493In perl 5.8.0, you can work around as follows;
494
495 use encoding 'euc-jp';
496 # ....
497 eval qq{ \$kana =~ tr/\xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3/\xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3/ };
498
499Note the C<tr//> expression is surrounded by C<qq{}>. The idea behind
500is the same as classic idiom that makes C<tr///> 'interpolate'.
501
502 tr/$from/$to/; # wrong!
503 eval qq{ tr/$from/$to/ }; # workaround.
504
505Nevertheless, in case of B<encoding> pragma even C<q//> is affected so
506C<tr///> not being decoded was obviously against the will of Perl5
507Porters so it has been fixed in Perl 5.8.1 or later.
508
509=head1 EXAMPLE - Greekperl
510
511 use encoding "iso 8859-7";
512
513 # \xDF in ISO 8859-7 (Greek) is \x{3af} in Unicode.
514
515 $a = "\xDF";
516 $b = "\x{100}";
517
518 printf "%#x\n", ord($a); # will print 0x3af, not 0xdf
519
520 $c = $a . $b;
521
522 # $c will be "\x{3af}\x{100}", not "\x{df}\x{100}".
523
524 # chr() is affected, and ...
525
526 print "mega\n" if ord(chr(0xdf)) == 0x3af;
527
528 # ... ord() is affected by the encoding pragma ...
529
530 print "tera\n" if ord(pack("C", 0xdf)) == 0x3af;
531
532 # ... as are eq and cmp ...
533
534 print "peta\n" if "\x{3af}" eq pack("C", 0xdf);
535 print "exa\n" if "\x{3af}" cmp pack("C", 0xdf) == 0;
536
537 # ... but pack/unpack C are not affected, in case you still
538 # want to go back to your native encoding
539
540 print "zetta\n" if unpack("C", (pack("C", 0xdf))) == 0xdf;
541
542=head1 KNOWN PROBLEMS
543
544=over
545
546=item literals in regex that are longer than 127 bytes
547
548For native multibyte encodings (either fixed or variable length),
549the current implementation of the regular expressions may introduce
550recoding errors for regular expression literals longer than 127 bytes.
551
552=item EBCDIC
553
554The encoding pragma is not supported on EBCDIC platforms.
555(Porters who are willing and able to remove this limitation are
556welcome.)
557
558=item format
559
560This pragma doesn't work well with format because PerlIO does not
561get along very well with it. When format contains non-ascii
562characters it prints funny or gets "wide character warnings".
563To 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
577Without binmode this happens to work but without binmode, print()
578fails instead of write().
579
580At any rate, the very use of format is questionable when it comes to
581unicode characters since you have to consider such things as character
582width (i.e. double-width for ideographs) and directions (i.e. BIDI for
583Arabic and Hebrew).

587=head2 The Logic of :locale
588
589The logic of C<:locale> is as follows:
590
591=over 4
592
593=item 1.
594
595If the platform supports the langinfo(CODESET) interface, the codeset
596returned is used as the default encoding for the open pragma.
597
598=item 2.
599
600If 1. didn't work but we are under the locale pragma, the environment
601variables 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
603as the default encoding for the open pragma.
604
605=item 3.
606
607If 1. and 2. didn't work, the environment variables LC_ALL and LANG
608(in that order) are matched for anything looking like UTF-8, and if
609any found, C<:utf8> is used as the default encoding for the open
610pragma.
611
612=back
613
614If your locale environment variables (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG)
615contain the strings 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' (case-insensitive matching),
616the default encoding of your STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, and of
617B<any subsequent file open>, is UTF-8.
618
619=head1 HISTORY
620
621This pragma first appeared in Perl 5.8.0. For features that require
6225.8.1 and better, see above.
