What is not documented (actually the example in the documentation is even missing this) is that PerlIO::encoding needs the (equally undocumented) Encode::STOP_AT_PARTIAL flag to be set, otherwise a multi-byte character spanning buffer boundaries will be interpreted as two invalid byte sequences. I could have fixed the documentation, but instead I fixed the code to always pass this flag to Encode, simplifying the use and making the current documentation correct again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Perl5 Master Repository
