Re: [PATCH] enable locale-induced UTF-8 I/O only if explicitly asked (Was: Re: [perl #19743] implicit utf8ification causes action-at-distance bugs)
Message ID:

I now applied the patch (with the } moved as noted by rgs)
to bleadperl as #18490.  As noted earlier, this means that
UTF-8 locales don't anymore automagically cause all I/O to
be in UTF-8.

(I've got a patch coming up which will hopefully address the UTF-8
tr/// test breakage caused by Encode 1.84 -- which fixed the other
half of the problem, that illegal UTF-8 wasn't detected immediately
when read in.)
