=head1 NAME
byte - Perl pragma to force byte semantics rather than character semantics
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use byte;
no byte;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WARNING: The implementation of Unicode support in Perl is incomplete.
Expect sudden and unannounced changes!
The C<use byte> pragma disables character semantics for the rest of the
lexical scope in which it appears. C<no byte> can be used to reverse
the effect of C<use byte> within the current lexical scope.
Perl normally assumes character semantics in the presence of
character data (i.e. data that has come from a source that has
been marked as being of a particular character encoding).
To understand the implications and differences between character
semantics and byte semantics, see L<perlunicode>.
