💖 Template::Stash::ForceUTF8 — the 3pm girlie who forces the flag 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Perl User Contributed docs corner of the manual, page name Templa...ceUTF8 (yes the title's been snipped, it's giving mystery, iykyk) and the manual section is 3pm. Let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Template::Stash::ForceUTF8 — it forces the UTF-8 (Unicode) flag onto your stash variables. no cap. that's the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste energy, do not touch a single character:

use Template::Stash::ForceUTF8;
use Template;

my $tt = Template->new(
    LOAD_TEMPLATES => [ Template::Provider::Encoding->new ],
    STASH => Template::Stash::ForceUTF8->new,
);

my $vars;
$vars->{foo} = "\x{5bae}\x{5ddd}";         # Unicode flagged
$vars->{bar} = "\xe5\xae\xae\xe5\xb7\x9d"; # UTF-8 bytes

$tt->process($template, $vars); # this DWIMs

look at that last comment. # this DWIMs. she literally does what you mean. main character behaviour fr fr 🫶
