NAME
Locale::TextDomain::UTF8 - Shortcut to use Locale::TextDomain and decoding to UTF8
VERSION
This document describes version 0.020 of Locale::TextDomain::UTF8 (from Perl distribution Locale-TextDomain-UTF8), released on 2019-12-26.
SYNOPSIS
Instead of:
use Locale::TextDomain 'Some-TextDomain';you now say:
use Locale::TextDomain::UTF8 'Some-TextDomain';DESCRIPTION
use Locale::TextDomain::UTF8 'Some-TextDomain'is equivalent to:
use Locale::TextDomain 'Some-TextDomain';
use Locale::Messages qw(bind_textdomain_filter);
use Encode;
BEGIN {
$ENV{OUTPUT_CHARSET} = 'UTF-8';
bind_textdomain_filter 'Some-TextDomain' => \&Encode::decode_utf8;
}it's just more convenient, especially if you have to do it for each textdomain.
Why would you want this? To ensure that strings returned by the __(), et al functions are UTF8-encoded Perl strings. For example, if you want to pass the strings to Unicode::GCString. For more details, see the Perl Advent article mentioned in the SEE ALSO section.
