Package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl Version: 1.19-1 Severity: normal If I call
Term::ReadLine->new('test', \*IN, \*OUT); any encoding layers I have set on OUT seem to be removed. I tracked it down to the line in the perl source that sets $Attribs{outstream}. I looked briefly at the .xs source for _rl_store_iostream, but I can't see what's causing this. I hope someone who knows perl internals can figure it out. Here's a complete test program. I run it on a utf-8 terminal. The first print works correctly (the correct utf-8 byte sequence is output), and the second shows a unicode unknown character (U+fffd), because perl outputs the byte \xf3. use Term::ReadLine; binmode(STDOUT, ':encoding(utf-8)'); print STDOUT ">", chr(0xf3), "<\n"; $Term::ReadLine::Gnu::Attribs{outstream} = \*STDOUT; print STDOUT ">", chr(0xf3), "<\n"; Andrew -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libterm-readline-gnu-perl depends on: ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-6 GNU readline and history libraries ii perl 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.10.0 5.10.0-25 minimal Perl system libterm-readline-gnu-perl recommends no packages. libterm-readline-gnu-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
