This happens because the first 256 +codepoints in Unicode happens to agree with Latin-1. + +However, this silent upgrading can easily cause problems, if you happen +to mix unicode strings with non-Latin1 data -- i.e. byte-strings encoded +in UTF-8 or other encodings. The error will not manifest until the +combined string is written to output, at which time it would be impossible +to see where did the silent upgrading occur. + +=head2 Detecting the problem + +This module simplifies the process of diagnosing such problems. Just put +this line on top of your main program: + + use encoding::warnings; + +Afterwards, implicit upgrading of high-bit bytes will raise a warning. +Ex.: C<Bytes implicitly upgraded into wide characters as iso-8859-1 at +- line 7>. + +However, strings composed purely of ASCII code points (C<0x00>..C<0x7F>) +will I<not> trigger this warning. + +You can also make the warnings fatal by importing this module as: + + use encoding::warnings 'FATAL'; + +=head2 Solving the problem + +Most of the time, this warning occurs when a byte-string is concatenated +with a unicode-string. There are a number of ways to solve it: + +=over 4 + +=item * Upgrade both sides to unicode-strings + +If your program does not need compatibility for Perl 5.6 and earlier, +the recommended approach is to apply appropriate IO disciplines, so all +data in your program become unicode-strings. See L<encoding>, L<open> and +L<perlfunc/binmode> for how. + +=item * Downgrade both sides to byte-strings + +The other way works too, especially if you are sure that all your data +are under the same encoding, or if compatibility with older versions +of Perl is desired. + +You may downgrade strings with C<Encode::encode> and C<utf8::encode>. +See L<Encode> and L<utf8> for details. + +=item * Specify the encoding for implicit byte-string upgrading + +If you are confident that all byte-strings will be in a specific +encoding like UTF-8, I<and> need not support older versions of Perl, +use the C<encoding> pragma: + + use encoding 'utf8'; + +Similarly, this will silence warnings from this module, and preserve the +default behaviour: + + use encoding 'iso-8859-1'; + +However, note that C<use encoding> actually had three distinct effects: + +=over 4 + +=item * PerlIO layers for B<STDIN> and B<STDOUT> + +This is similar to what L<open> pragma does. + +=item * Literal conversions + +This turns I<all> literal string in your program into unicode-strings +(equivalent to a C<use utf8>), by decoding them using the specified +encoding. + +=item * Implicit upgrading for byte-strings + +This will silence warnings from this module, as shown above. + +=back + +Because literal conversions also work on empty strings, it may surprise +some people: + + use encoding 'big5'; + + my $byte_string = pack("C*", 0xA4, 0x40); + print length $a; # 2 here. + $a .= ""; # concatenating with a unicode string... + print length $a; # 1 here! + +In other words, do not C<use encoding> unless you are certain that the +program will not deal with any raw, 8-bit binary data at all. + +However, the C<Filter =E<gt> 1> flavor of C<use encoding> will I<not> +affect implicit upgrading for byte-strings, and is thus incapable of +silencing warnings from this module. See L<encoding> for more details. + +=back + +=head1 CAVEATS + +This module currently affects the whole script, instead of inside its +lexical block. This is expected to be addressed during Perl 5.9 development, +where the B<encoding> module will also be made lexical. + +=cut + +# Constants. +sub ASCII () { 0 } +sub LATIN1 () { 1 } +sub FATAL () { 2 } + +# Install a ${^ENCODING} handler if no other one are already in place. +sub import { + my $class = shift; + my $fatal = shift || ''; + + local $@; + return if ${^ENCODING} and ref(${^ENCODING}) ne $class; + return unless eval { require Encode; 1 }; + + my $ascii = Encode::find_encoding('us-ascii') or return; + my $latin1 = Encode::find_encoding('iso-8859-1') or return; + + # Have to undef explicitly here + undef ${^ENCODING}; + + # Install a warning handler for decode() + ${^ENCODING} = bless( + [ + $ascii, + $latin1, + (($fatal eq 'FATAL') ?
