Subject: binmode only accepts ':raw'
As described in the documentation: my $bin_data = read_file( $bin_file, binmode => ':raw' ) ; NOTE: this actually sets the O_BINARY mode flag for sysopen. It probably should call binmode and pass its argument to support other file modes.

Add me to that too. I would love to use File::Slurp but as all my files are utf8 encoded I would need to do the decoding afterwards. Obviously I can do that myself afterwards but not without a reassignment (unless I use scalar_ref => 1 attribute). BTW, I would not just set the ":utf-8" flag because horrible things will happen if it is not utf-8 encoded - use ":encoding(UTF-8)" which checks the utf-8 encoding is correct. Martin -- Martin J.

Please add me as another requestor. I think the binmode flag should be passed on to the open(). I end up doing something myself like open my $fh, '>:encoding(UTF-8)', $filepath or die "$filepath: $!"; Regards, Peter

I'd love to see this fixed. There's even a patch down there (although it's 3 years old): http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28491

Ironically the documented { atomic => 1, binmode => ':raw' } will give "wide character" error in syswrite(). The undocumented { atomic => 1, binmode => ':utf8' } works differently, perhaps even correctly. This module feels "abandoned".

the whole purpose why I am using this module - is to have a "standard" way to get/put a file contents in one go. too bad this is not correctly working for utf8

hi all slurp bug reporters, a new version of File::Slurp is on the way. it supports utf8 in binmode and many other fixes and new features. i am in the last stages of testing and will have a beta release very soon. if you want to test the beta, email me directly at uri@stemsystems.com and let me know. mention file::slurp in the email body. thanx, uri -- Uri Guttman ------ uri@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com ---------
