A scalar that is going to be passed to some extension, be it
Compress::Zlib, Apache::Request or any extension that has no mention
of Unicode in the manpage:
if ($] > 5.007) {
require Encode;
utf8::upgrade($self->{CONTENT}); # make sure it is UTF-8 encoded
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why is that step necessary? encode_utf8() should do that itself on the way ...
$self->{CONTENT} = Encode::encode_utf8($self->{CONTENT}); # make octets
}
