Subject: illegal Unicode on pre-5.12 perls
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:46:28 +0100
To: bug-Carp [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
Carp 1.25. $ perl5.10.1 -MCarp -lwe 'sub foo { local $^W=0; Carp::confess "foo" } foo("\x{ffff}")' Unicode character 0xffff is illegal at -e line 1. Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at /opt/perl-5.10.1/lib/5.10.1/Carp.pm line 195. On Perl 5.12 this is a warning instead of a fatal error, and on 5.14 it doesn't occur. (But 5.14 does get "Wide character in die" instead.) This error/warning needs to be suppressed for all Perl versions. -zefram

‘no warnings 'utf8'’ will take care of that. Been there; done that. :-) If you look through JE’s source code, you’ll see that at the top of almost every file.
