Re^2: Unicode: Perl5 equivalent to Perl6's @string.graphemes?

Can you please explain why you used use open ':std', ':locale' instead of, say, use open qw( :encoding(UTF-8) :std )? What do :std and :locale together do?

What do :std and :locale together do? The same as :std and :encoding together, just without having to specify the encoding. Can you please explain why you used use open ':std', ':locale' Because I don't know the encoding of the terminals in which your program will run. I don't even know that they all use the same encoding.	[reply]
