* Let's not promise too much: use utf8 only works on identifierJarkko Hietaniemi2002-04-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | names, not package or subroutine names (admittedly limited [1], but that's what the Camel says, and that's what we are going to stick to for 5.8.0). Also document that use vars does not do utf8. [1] The obvious problem in both is that package and subroutine names need to mappable to the filesystem. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@15947

* More EBCDIC stuff:Nick Ing-Simmons2001-03-201-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Loose the extra level of function on ASCII. - spotted a chr(0) issue in sv.c - re-work of UTF-X tr/// ranges to work in Unicode space. Still issues with the "0xff is illegal UTF-8" hack. - Yet another ad. hoc. utf8 'upgrade' in op.c recoded (why do it once when you can do it all over the place :-( - Enable HINTS_UTF8 on EBCDIC - then ignore it in toke.c, need utf8.pm for swashes. - Simplified and commented scan_const() in toke.c Still something wrong regexp and tr (swashes?). p4raw-id: //depot/perlio@9267
* UTF-X encoding invariance for Encode:Nick Ing-Simmons2001-03-181-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | - move Encode::utf8_encode to utf8::encode (likewise decode,upgrade,downgrade,valid) - move the XS code for those to universal.c (so in miniperl) - add utf8::unicode_to_native and its inverse to allow EBCDIC to work in true unicode. - change ext/Encode/compile to use above. - Fix t/lib/encode.t for above - Teach t/lib/b.t to expect -uutf8 - In utf8.c look for SWASHNEW rather than just utf8:: package to see if utf8.pm is needed. p4raw-id: //depot/perlio@9198
