It appears that encoding.pm provides a function _get_locale_encoding() that applies several heuristics to get the encoding of the current locale. This is used by the C<use open ":locale"> construct. So if we remove the encoding pragma we break that obscure sub-functionality in the open pragma. From there there are several options: - deprecate open ":locale" - move _get_locale_encoding elsewhere, e.g. in open.pm itself - or move it in a new module - or move it in PerlIO::locale and incorporate it in the core (as a saner alternative to global pragmas) I'm willing to implement either of those options depending on consensus. My personal favorite is #4.Thread Next
