Re^7: any use of 'use locale'? (source encoding)

[zwon]

You say:

Your locale is not used to determine the encoding of the source file.

I answer: how sad! Why i then define the locale in my system and ask Perl to use it?

Why do you think locale should be used to determine source file encoding? What if you created script using utf8 and I'm running it in latin1 locale, or utf16?

Then you override by using :encoding. That's already how it works with use open.
