Description : Many modern text editors automatically save files using UTF-8 codification.
: However, the perl interpreter does not expect it by default. Whilst this does
: not represent a big deal on (most) backend-oriented programs, Web framework
: (Catalyst, Mojolicious) based applications will suffer so-called Mojibake
: (literally: "unintelligible sequence of characters"). Even worse: if an editor
: saves BOM (Byte Order Mark, U+FEFF character in Unicode) at the start of a
: script with the executable bit set (on Unix systems), it won't execute at all,
: due to shebang corruption.
:
: Avoiding codification problems is quite simple:
:
: * Always use utf8/use common::sense when saving source as UTF-8
: * Always specify =encoding utf8 when saving POD as UTF-8
: * Do neither of above when saving as ISO-8859-1
: * Never save BOM (not that it's wrong; just avoid it as you'll barely
: notice its presence when in trouble)
:
: However, if you find yourself upgrading old code to use UTF-8 or trying to
: standardize a big project with many developers, each one using a different
: platform/editor, reviewing all files manually can be quite painful, especially
: in cases where some files have multiple encodings (note: it all started when I
: realized that gedit and derivatives are unable to open files with character
: conversion tables).
:
: Enter the Test::Mojibake ;)
