Re: binmode, encoding layer, ignoring encoding problems

[choroba]

If I understand your question, you want to convert a string and replace non-convertable characters with ?. See Handling Malformed Data in Encode documentation.

Hi choroba,


I know this piece of documentation. But how does it help me?

Probably just some glue informations are missing, but at the moment I don't know how this document helps me.

a) Encode says that the default for encoding is Encode::FB_DEFAULT and this means that there will be placed a substitution character when a character can't be encoded. That's not true with pushing an encoding layer to a file handle.

b) Are the encoding mechanisms with the module Encode somehow interrelated with the encoding done by layers?

Clearifing needed. :-)

Best regards
Andreas
