Summary: Check your source for encoding misbehavior |
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 ;)
