in thread My PerlTidy utility is choking on non-ASCII characters, help me figure out why?
oh, right, forgot about that
What about the Dumper?
If i try
perl -CSD -le " print qq{use utf8;\nprint qq{I \x{2665} Perl\n};\n}; " + >foo.pl
I get
use utf8; print qq{I ♥ Perl };
If I run that through perltidy or your program its unchanged
cmd.exe doesn't know how to display the unicode without a chcp, but the bytes are the same
If I add to your program
use Data::Dump qw/pp /; print STDERR pp("$output_string");
I get unchanged correct result as expected
"use utf8;\nprint qq{I \xE2\x99\xA5 Perl\n};\n\n"
by default cmd.exe does not unicode
$ chcp Active code page: 437 $ type foo.tdy use utf8; print qq{I ΓΦΡ Perl };
If I change it I get a heart
$ chcp 65001 Active code page: 65001 $ type foo.tdy use utf8; print qq{I ♥ Perl };
