I'm writing code in utf-8 console and don't use pragma utf8 because I
don't need UTF-8 source code, only scalar value.
So, the scalar
my $to_name = 'Тестовый Ящик';
perl stores in his internal UTF8 encoding. And when I write
Encode::_utf8_on($to_name) I tell perl that this is real well formated
utf-8 string.
To create 'To' header field I write
my $to_address = Mail::Message::Field::Address->new(
address => 'test@mailbox.ru',
phrase => $to_name,
charset => 'utf-8',
encoding => 'B',
);
I set charset to 'utf-8' to tell that phrase in utf-8 encoding. And
here everything is right.
To create utf-8 message body I've found another way
my $text = "тестовая строка"; # scalar in internal UTF8 perl encoding
my $body = Mail::Message::Body->new(
data => $text,
mime_type => 'text/plain',
charset => 'utf-8', # don't understand why not 'PERL'
);
$body = $body->encoded;
Why I should set charset attribute to 'utf-8' instead of 'PERL'? In
documentation says this option 'Defines the character-set which is used
in the data' and in real this is 'PERL'. Can you show me the right way
of creating utf-8 encoded body, please?

In documentation to Mail::Message::Body module says that mime_type
option has 'text/plain' value by default, but code without setting it
explicitly doesn't work.
my $body = Mail::Message::Body->new(
data => $text,
charset => 'utf-8',
);
In your code it sets to default value only when creating message body
from file.
