Well, adding
'Encode.pm' => 'sub',
to %Preload will pack ALL of them for a whopping 21 MB of stuff for anyone
who just wants to
use Encode qw(encode decode);
...
$string = decode("utf8", $bytes);
So I'm hesitant to do that. If someone knows in advance which encodings they
need
they can add an appropriate -M option to their pp command. If they want to be
flexible (e.g. program takes the encoding as input), this could get cumbersome,
though.
There was once a suggestion on the list to add an option to pp that would mean
"include Foo.pm and everything below Foo/". Implementation would be almost
trivial
(just call _glob_in_inc("Foo.pm")), the problem is to come up with a good name
for this option.
Cheers, Roderich
