23 | =head1 NAME |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | bytes - Perl pragma to force byte semantics rather than character semantics |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
---|
28 | |
---|
29 | use bytes; |
---|
30 | no bytes; |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | WARNING: The implementation of Unicode support in Perl is incomplete. |
---|
35 | See L<perlunicode> for the exact details. |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | The C<use bytes> pragma disables character semantics for the rest of the |
---|
38 | lexical scope in which it appears. C<no bytes> can be used to reverse |
---|
39 | the effect of C<use bytes> within the current lexical scope. |
---|
40 | |
---|
41 | Perl normally assumes character semantics in the presence of |
---|
42 | character data (i.e. data that has come from a source that has |
---|
43 | been marked as being of a particular character encoding). |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | To understand the implications and differences between character |
---|
46 | semantics and byte semantics, see L<perlunicode>. |
