#perlunicode - Unicode support in Perl

#DESCRIPTION

#Important Caveats: Safest if you use feature 'unicode_strings', Input and Output Layers, You must convert your non-ASCII, non-UTF-8 Perl scripts to be UTF-8, use utf8 still needed to enable UTF-8 in scripts, UTF-16 scripts autodetected
#Byte and Character Semantics
#ASCII Rules versus Unicode Rules: When the string has been upgraded to UTF-8, There are additional methods for regular expression patterns
#Extended Grapheme Clusters (Logical characters)
#Unicode Character Properties: \p{All}, \p{Alnum}, \p{Any}, \p{ASCII}, \p{Assigned}, \p{Blank}, \p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical} (Short: \p{Dt=NonCanon}), \p{Graph}, \p{HorizSpace}, \p{In=*}, \p{PerlSpace}, \p{PerlWord}, \p{Posix...}, \p{Present_In: *} (Short: \p{In=*}), \p{Print}, \p{SpacePerl}, \p{Title} and \p{Titlecase}, \p{Unicode}, \p{VertSpace}, \p{Word}, \p{XPosix...}
#Comparison of \N{...} and \p{name=...}: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]
#Wildcards in Property Values
#User-Defined Character Properties
#User-Defined Case Mappings (for serious hackers only)
#Character Encodings for Input and Output
#Unicode Regular Expression Support Level: [1] \N{U+...} and \x{...}, [2] \p{...} \P{...}. This requirement is for a minimal list of properties. Perl supports these. See R2.7 for other properties, [3], [4], [5] \b \B meet most, but not all, the details of this requirement, but \b{wb} and \B{wb} do, as well as the stricter R2.3, [6], [7], [8] UTF-8/UTF-EBDDIC used in Perl allows not only U+10000 to U+10FFFF but also beyond U+10FFFF, [9] Unicode has rewritten this portion of UTS#18 to say that getting canonical equivalence (see UAX#15 "Unicode Normalization Forms") is basically to be done at the programmer level. Use NFD to write both your regular expressions and text to match them against (you can use Unicode::Normalize), [10] Perl has \X and \b{gcb}. Unicode has retracted their "Grapheme Cluster Mode", and recently added string properties, which Perl does not yet support, [11] see UAX#29 "Unicode Text Segmentation",, [12] see "Wildcards in Property Values" in perlunicode above, [13] Perl supports all the properties in the Unicode Character Database (UCD). It does not yet support the listed properties that come from other Unicode sources, [14] The only optional property that Perl supports is Named Sequence. None of these properties are in the UCD

#perlunifaq - Perl Unicode FAQ

#Q and A

#perlunitut isn't really a Unicode tutorial, is it?
#What character encodings does Perl support?
#Which version of perl should I use?
#What about binary data, like images?
#When should I decode or encode?
#What if I don't decode?
#What if I don't encode?: If the string's characters are all code point 255 or lower, Perl outputs bytes that match those code points. This is what happens with encoded strings. It can also, though, happen with unencoded strings that happen to be all code point 255 or lower, Otherwise, Perl outputs the string encoded as UTF-8. This only happens with strings you neglected to encode. Since that should not happen, Perl also throws a "wide character" warning in this case
#Is there a way to automatically decode or encode?
#What if I don't know which encoding was used?
#Can I use Unicode in my Perl sources?
#Data::Dumper doesn't restore the UTF8 flag; is it broken?
#Why do regex character classes sometimes match only in the ASCII range?
#Why do some characters not uppercase or lowercase correctly?
#How can I determine if a string is a text string or a binary string?
#How do I convert from encoding FOO to encoding BAR?
#What are decode_utf8 and encode_utf8?
#What is a "wide character"?

#INTERNALS

#What is "the UTF8 flag"?
#What about the use bytes pragma?
#What about the use encoding pragma?
#What is the difference between :encoding and :utf8?
#What's the difference between UTF-8 and utf8?
#I lost track; what encoding is the internal format really?

#Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}

Single form (\p{name}) tighter rules:, white space adjacent to a non-word character, underscores separating digits in numbers, Compound form (\p{name=value} or \p{name:value}) tighter rules:, Stabilized, Deprecated, Obsolete, Discouraged, * is a wild-card, (\d+) in the info column gives the number of Unicode code points matched by this property, D means this is deprecated, O means this is obsolete, S means this is stabilized, T means tighter (stricter) name matching applies, X means use of this form is discouraged, and may not be stable

#DESCRIPTION

#Variables

#Datatypes
#What is an "IV"?
#Working with SVs: SvIV(SV*) (IV) and SvUV(SV*) (UV), SvNV(SV*) (double), Strings are a bit complicated:, Byte string: SvPVbyte(SV*, STRLEN len) or SvPVbyte_nolen(SV*), UTF-8 string: SvPVutf8(SV*, STRLEN len) or SvPVutf8_nolen(SV*), You can also use SvPV(SV*, STRLEN len) or SvPV_nolen(SV*) to fetch the SV's raw internal buffer. This is tricky, though; if your Perl string is "\xff\xff", then depending on the SV's internal encoding you might get back a 2-byte OR a 4-byte char*. Moreover, if it's the 4-byte string, that could come from either Perl "\xff\xff" stored UTF-8 encoded, or Perl "\xc3\xbf\xc3\xbf" stored as raw octets. To differentiate between these you MUST look up the SV's UTF8 bit (cf. SvUTF8) to know whether the source Perl string is 2 characters (SvUTF8 would be on) or 4 characters (SvUTF8 would be off)
#Offsets
#What's Really Stored in an SV?
#Working with AVs: av_store_simple, av_fetch_simple, av_push_simple, are not magical, are not readonly, are "real" AVs (see next section), have an av_top_index value > -2, Every accessible element in the array is either initialized but empty or contains a pointer to a live SV, When a SV* is assigned to an array element, the reference count on the SV is incremented. Conversely, when the element is unset, or assigned a different SV*, the reference count of the expelled SV is decremented

#ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config - Wrapper around Config.pm

#SYNOPSIS
#DESCRIPTION

#ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About MakeMaker

#DESCRIPTION

#Module Installation: How do I install a module into my home directory?, How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?, How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without installing it?, How can I organize tests into subdirectories and have them run?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook, Generating *.pm files with substitutions eg of $VERSION
#Common errors and problems: "No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'"
#Philosophy and History: Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What is Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft
#Module Writing: How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's this META.yml thing and how did it get in my MANIFEST?!, How do I delete everything not in my MANIFEST?, Which tar should I use on Windows?, Which zip should I use on Windows for '[ndg]make zipdist'?
#XS: How do I prevent "object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY" errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?, XSMULTI, Separate directories, Bootstrapping

#DESIGN

#MakeMaker object hierarchy (simplified)
#MakeMaker object hierarchy (real)
#The MM_* hierarchy

#PATCHING

#DESCRIPTION: Call Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth), Given -n, if there's a opt_n_with, it'll call $object->opt_n_with( ARGUMENT ) (e.g., "-n foo" => $object->opt_n_with('foo'). Ditto "-nfoo"), Otherwise (given -n) if there's an opt_n, we'll call it $object->opt_n($truth) (Truth defaults to 1), Otherwise we try calling $object->handle_unknown_option('n') (and we increment the error count by the return value of it), If there's no handle_unknown_option, then we just warn, and then increment the error counter

#SYNOPSIS

#DESCRIPTION

#METHODS

#Class Methods
#Rules data structure: By default, all tests are eligible to be run in parallel. Specifying any of your own rules removes this one, "First match wins". The first rule that matches a test will be the one that applies, Any test which does not match a rule will be run in sequence at the end of the run, The existence of a rule does not imply selecting a test. You must still specify the tests to run, Specifying a rule to allow tests to run in parallel does not make the run in parallel. You still need specify the number of parallel jobs in your Harness object

#DESCRIPTION
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LOAD THE API?: A singleton instance of Test2::API::Instance is created, Several API functions are defined that use the singleton instance, Then what?
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I USE A TOOL?: A tool function is run, The tool acquires a context object, The tool uses the context object to create, send, and return events, When done the tool MUST release the context, The tool returns
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ACQUIRE A CONTEXT?: $!, $@, $? and $^E are captured and preserved, The API state is changed to 'loaded', The current hub is found, Context acquire hooks fire, Any existing context is found, Stack depth is measured, A new context is created (if no existing context was found), Context init hooks fire (if no existing context was found), $!, $@, $?, and $^E are restored, The context is returned
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I SEND AN EVENT?: The Test2::Event::Ok module is loaded, A new instance of Test2::Event::Ok is created, The event object is sent to the hub, The hub runs the event through any filters, The global test state is updated to reflect the event, The event is sent to the formatter, The event is sent to all listeners
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RELEASE A CONTEXT?: The current context clone is released, If this was the canonical context, it will actually release, Release hooks are called, The context is cleared, $!, $@, $?, and $^E are restored
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I USE done_testing()?: Any pending IPC events will be culled, Follow-up hooks are run, The final plan event is generated and processed, The current hub is finalized
#WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A TEST SCRIPT IS DONE?: API Versions are checked, Any remaining context objects are cleaned up, Child processes are sent a 'waiting' event, The script will wait for all child processes and/or threads to complete, The hub stack is cleaned up, The root hub is finalized, Exit callbacks are called, The scripts exit value ($?) is set, Broken module diagnostics
