Yes, you're right, I forgot that. Please let me ask a few more
questions, maybe these are FAQs in the near future...
1) What do we offer as convenience for the XFree users that have
switched to UTF-8 terminals?
2) Where is or should that be documented?
3) How does a user find out about available disciplines on his
installation?
4) I tried C<use open OUT => ":utf8">, it says
Can't coerce GLOB to string in concat at /usr/local/perl-5.7.0@8494/lib/5.7.0/Carp/Heavy.pm line 38.
is this a bug in perl or in my program?
5) I tried C<use open OUT => ":raw"> within the debugger. It says
Unknown discipline layer ':raw' at (eval 30)[/usr/local/perl-5.7.0@8494/lib/5.7.0/perl5db.pl:1521] line 2
is this a bug in perl or in my program?
6) What is "IN" and "OUT" in the manpage for the open pragma? Are
these filehandles or just symbolic names that stand for inout and
output to any filehandle in th same scope?
Thanks,
