The locale codeset (cp1252) isn't one that perl can decode

jellisii2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm getting the above error, but ONLY when I pipe the following script through pp.

    require Encode;
    require Encode::Locale;
    print "no";
[download]

I'm executing pp with the following:

pp test_locale.pl
[download]

perl -v returns

Encode's helpers are not being packaged by `pp`. You might get better results using `use` instead of `require` (depending on how `pp` works). Otherwise, you'll have to tell `pp` to include them explicitly. (Encode::Alias? Encode::Byte? Encode::Config?)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This resolved the problem. I was able to take apart the two resulting outputs and discovered that Encode::Byte was missing. Adding this as a module to my pp call fixed the issue.	[reply]
