open(my $fh, '>:encoding(UTF-8)', \$html);
my $orig_stdout = select( $fh );
print "Ümläut Test ßaß; 使用下列语言\n";
Think of it this way:
Those three lines of code are an elaborate way of doing this:
$html = Encode::encode('UTF-8', "Ümläut Test ßaß; 使用下列语言\n");
If you wrote that code, would you be surprised that $html does not
have the UTF8 flag set afterwards?
Bonus question if you are not surprised then: what is the difference
between these two cases that makes your argument that “perl knows what
I put in there so it should know to set the UTF8 flag on it” not apply
to this?
