If I have a file that I know is completely utf8 text, can I read it into a
string and have Perl (5.6.0) treat it as utf8 characters?
Yes. Use the module I pasted a few days ago. If you're not using
bleeding-edge Perl, comment out the line containing is_utf8_string
and the following line.
If I get time, I will polish it up to a full module and put it on CPAN.
No promises, though.
Is there a way to get a utf8 string from @argv?
Same thing.
