This is actually a stumbling block for new programmers, who might think that utf8 makes your filehandles use UTF-8 by default, or automagically turns incoming data into UTF-8, and ensures outgoing data is all UTF-8 as well. Sadly, that&rsquo;s not the case.</p> <p>However, one of the great things about perl5i is that it turns on Unicode. <em>All of it.</em></p>
