💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is Test2::Tools::Encoding, a page straight out of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide (section 3pm, for the record). And what is it? It's the toolkit for managing the encoding of Test2-based tests. That's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module exports a function (yes, just the one) that lets you dynamically change the output encoding whenever you want. At will. On the fly. No cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Test2::Tools::Encoding;

set_encoding('utf8');

that's literally it, icon behavior 🌸

👑 EXPORTS 👑

All subs are exported by default — no asking, they just show up. 🫶

  • set_encoding($encoding) — this sets the encoding to whatever you specify. But bestie, listen: it only affects the output of the current formatter, which is usually your TAP output formatter. So don't go thinking it's changing everything everywhere, because it's not — it's giving "this formatter only" energy. 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie 🧚 — this masterpiece of a manual page is from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-11-03, and the page is Test2::Tools::Encoding(3pm) (the header got a little truncated in the wild, but you know her). periodt 💅🎀
