Re^2: Confusion over utf8 and in-memory filehandles

[ribasushi]

It is the same string with the utf8 flag flipped up. As such I would expect the same bytes to be available when reading it as a "filehandle". Yet the utf8-ness (which is claimed to be an internal impl. detail all ovetr the docs) is "visible" in this case.

I am not sure I understand why (nor can find any relevant perldoc)

Oh, I get it now. Some discussion of it in #109828: PerlIO::scalar does not handle UTF-8

[ribasushi]

Indeed, so a bug. I am updating the node and poking folks at p5p.

Thanks!
