This makes perl-5.8.6 happy but the problem is that I have made
Encode::utf8 so that it accepts fallback values like Encode::XS (upon
the request by Bjoern Hoehrmann via RT). Encode::utf8 used to return
immediately at partial character but now Encode:RETURN_ON_ERR is
required, meaning those who installed Encode-2.07 on older perl are in
trouble w/ PerlIO. So I am looking for a solution which does that
without tweaking PerlIO::encoding.
Welcome to backward compatibility hell :)
I just want Encode::utf8->decode() to make sure Encode:RETURN_ON_ERR is
on when the callar is PerlIO::encoding...
Or, one could backport PerlIO::encoding (with your patch) to CPAN and
require this latest version for Encode 2.08.
You could. But I designed the two together and partial characters
were not errors but distingushed in a way which is part of Encode::XS
behaviour.
