Gory maybe, but nowhere does it suggest you should use a charset that does not
exist!
I was saying that based on one of the examples in the POD, specifically:
use encoding 'utf8';
I then explicity search for an example using 'utf-8' and
couldn't find one.
So I concluded that utf8 is the correct value.
See:
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunifaq.html#What%27s-the-difference-between-UTF-8-and-utf8?>
<http://perldoc.perl.org/Encode.html#UTF-8-vs.-utf8-vs.-UTF8>
Which just says that utf8 is a relaxed version of utf-8 (or utf8
vs utf-8-strict).
So both are valid, and no, utf-8 is not just an alias for utf8
as I had guessed. But for the purposes of the text filter,
either should work fine.
