------------------------------
Attachment: hello_world2.pl
Script to demonstrate the problem
> In the Perl binding there doesn't appear to be a way to set the encoding of
> header properties to UTF8.

> Key: QPID-3695
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3695
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Interop Testing
> Affects Versions: 0.12
> Environment: Perl
> Reporter: Fraser Adams
> Attachments: hello_world2.pl
>
>
> There have been some interoperability issues reported between Java/C++/Perl
> whereby there is sometimes a mismatch between C++ qpid::messaging client
> defaults of binary strings and expected UTF8 Strings - especially noticeable
> with headers exchange matching.
> One of the most significant issues is with the qpid::messaging AddressParser
> which is resolved here:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3492
> However with qpid::messaging producers one must also be careful to call
> setEncoding("utf8") when setting string properties.
> This is OK with C++ qpid::messaging as long as one is aware of the potential
> issue however there's a more significant issue with the Perl binding, which
> is a SWIG wrapper around qpid::messaging. This "transparently" maps Perl
> strings into binary strings and there doesn't appear to be any way to
> explicitly set the encoding as the Variant type implementation is abstracted
> away in Perl.
> The following trivial snippet allows a UTF8 property to be set on a Message:
> /*
> This method properly encodes the value parameter as a UTF8 Variant type
> then sets the Property
> on the Message passed in as a parameter.
> */
> void setUtf8Property(Message& message, const char* key, const char* value) {
> Variant utf8Value(value);
> utf8Value.setEncoding("utf8");
> message.setProperty(key, utf8Value);
> }
> Obviously to be of any use in the Perl binding it would need to be added to
> the SWIG interface.
> Perhaps there's another way to set Message properties as UTF8 from the Perl
> binding?
