NAME

       PerlIO::utf8_strict - Fast and correct UTF-8 IO

VERSION

       version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

        open my $fh, '<:utf8_strict', $filename;

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a fast and correct UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Unlike perl's default ":utf8"
       layer it checks the input for correctness.

LAYER ARGUMENTS

       allow_noncharacters
       allow_surrogates

EXPORT

       PerlIO::utf8_strict exports no subroutines or symbols, just a perl layer "utf8_strict"

DIAGNOSTICS

       Can't decode ill-formed UTF-8 octet sequence <%s>
           (F) Encountered an ill-formed UTF-8 octet sequence. <%s> contains a hexadecimal
           representation of the maximal subpart of the ill-formed subsequence.

       Can't interchange noncharacter code point U+%.4X
           (F) Noncharacters is permanently reserved for internal use and that should never be
           interchanged. Noncharacters consist of the values U+nFFFE and U+nFFFF (where n is from
           0 to 10^16) and the values U+FDD0..U+FDEF.
