The C pragma serves as one of the interfaces to declare default "layers" (aka disciplines) for all I/O. The C pragma is used to declare one or more default layers for I/O operations. Any open(), readpipe() (aka qx//) and similar operators found within the lexical scope of this pragma will use the declared defaults. With the C subpragma you can declare the default layers of input streams, and with the C subpragma you can declare the default layers of output streams. With the C subpragma you can control both input and output streams simultaneously. If you have a legacy encoding, you can use the C<:encoding(...)> tag. if you want to set your encoding disciplines based on your locale environment variables, you can use the C<:locale> tag. For example: $ENV{LANG} = 'ru_RU.KOI8-R'; # the :locale will probe the locale environment variables like LANG use open OUT => ':locale'; open(O, ">koi8"); print O chr(0x430); # Unicode CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A = KOI8-R 0xc1 close O; open(I, "), "\n"; # this should print 0xc1 close I; These are equivalent use open ':utf8'; use open IO => ':utf8'; as are these use open ':locale'; use open IO => ':locale'; and these use open ':encoding(iso-8859-7)'; use open IO => ':encoding(iso-8859-7)'; When open() is given an explicit list of layers they are appended to the list declared using this pragma. Directory handles may also support disciplines in future. =head1 NONPERLIO FUNCTIONALITY If Perl is not built to use PerlIO as its IO system then only the two pseudo-disciplines ":raw" and ":crlf" are available. The ":raw" discipline corresponds to "binary mode" and the ":crlf" discipline corresponds to "text mode" on platforms that distinguish between the two modes when opening files (which is many DOS-like platforms, including Windows). These two disciplines are no-ops on platforms where binmode() is a no-op, but perform their functions everywhere if PerlIO is enabled. =head1 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS There is a class method in C C which is implemented as XS code. It is called by C to validate the layers: PerlIO::Layer::->find("perlio") The return value (if defined) is a Perl object, of class C which is created by the C code in F. As yet there is nothing useful you can do with the object at the perl level. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L =cut
