Test::More::UTF8(3)

okay bestie, welcome to Test::More::UTF8(3) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page that’s lowkey a glow-up for UTF8-based Perl testing 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::More::UTF8 — Enhancing Test::More for UTF8-based projects ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Test::More;
use Test::More::UTF8;

# now we can easily use flagged strings without warnings like "Wide character in print ..."
is("\x{410}","\x{420}"); # got a failure message without warnings

🎀 LIMITATIONS 🎀

This module only has a reason to exist for perl 5.8 and higher, bestie. That’s the whole limitation vibe 💅

🌈 FEATURES 🌈

It also switches on the utf8 pragma by default. To disable this, add the -utf8 option:

• -utf8 — turns off that default-on utf8 pragma:

use Test::More::UTF8 qw(-utf8);

By default, binmode ':utf8' will be done on all output handles: failure_output, todo_output, output. You can choose only some of them, no cap:

• failure — enable :utf8 only on failure_output:

use Test::More::UTF8 qw(failure); # enable :utf8 only on failure_output

• todo — enable :utf8 only on todo_output:

use Test::More::UTF8 qw(todo); # enable :utf8 only on todo_output

• out — enable :utf8 only on output:

use Test::More::UTF8 qw(out); # enable :utf8 only on output
