Wide character in print at -e line 1.

Wide character in print at -e line 1.

Wide character in print at -e line 1 (#1)
(S utf8) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn't expecting
one. This warning is by default on for I/O (like print). The eas
+iest
way to quiet this warning is simply to add the :utf8 layer to the
output, e.g. binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'. Another way to turn off the
warning is to add no warnings 'utf8'; but that is often closer to
cheating. In general, you are supposed to explicitly mark the
filehandle with an encoding, see open and perlfunc/binmode.
ϧ
So to silence the warning, use
$ perl -e " no warnings q[utf8]; print chr(999) "
ϧ
using bytes would also silence it, but would change the semantics
$ perl -e " use bytes; print chr(999) "

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
