In many applications it's wise to let Perl use Unicode for the strings it
|
||||
processes. Most of the interfaces Perl has to the outside world is still
|
||||
processes. Most of the interfaces Perl has to the outside world are still
|
||||
byte based. Programs therefore needs to decode byte strings that enter the
|
||||
program from the outside and encode them again on the way out.
|
||||
|
||||
The POSIX locale system is used to specify both the language conventions
|
||||
requested by the user and the preferred character set to consume and
|
||||
output. The 'Encode::Locale' module looks up the charset and encoding
|
||||
(called a CODESET in the locale jargon) and arrange for the the Encode
|
||||
manpage module to know this encoding under the name "locale". It means
|
||||
(called a CODESET in the locale jargon) and arrange for the Encode
|
||||
module to know this encoding under the name "locale". It means
|
||||
bytes obtained from the environment can be converted to Unicode strings by
|
||||
calling 'Encode::encode(locale => $bytes)' and converted back again with
|
||||
'Encode::decode(locale => $string)'.
|
||||
|
||||
Where file systems interfaces pass file names in and out of the program we
|
||||
also need care. The trend is for operating systems to use a fixed file
|
||||
encoding that don't actually depend on the locale; and this module
|
||||
determines the most appropriate encoding for file names. The the Encode
|
||||
manpage module will know this encoding under the name "locale_fs". For
|
||||
encoding that doesn't actually depend on the locale; and this module
|
||||
determines the most appropriate encoding for file names. The Encode
|
||||
module will know this encoding under the name "locale_fs". For
|
||||
traditional Unix systems this will be an alias to the same encoding as
|
||||
"locale".
|
||||
|
||||
For programs running in a terminal window (called a "Console" on some
|
||||
systems) the "locale" encoding is usually a good choice for what to expect
|
||||
as input and output. Some systems allows us to query the encoding set for
|
||||
as input and output. Some systems allow us to query the encoding set for
|
||||
the terminal and 'Encode::Locale' will do that if available and make these
|
||||
encodings known under the 'Encode' aliases "console_in" and "console_out".
|
||||
For systems where we can't determine the terminal encoding these will be
