Hi.
By curiosity, and just in case anyone knows off-hand :
perl 5.8.8
In a script, I substantially do this :
open(FIRST,'<:utf8',$name1);
open(SECOND,'>:raw',$name2);
while(defined($line = <FIRST>)) {
print SECOND $line;
}
and I get warnings : "wide character in print to <SECOND>,.."
I mean, I know that my data is UTF-8, and I know that some characters
are going to be "wide", and that's how I want them.
I also know that I could specify the output I/O layer as 'utf8' (which
avoids the warning).
But why do I get warnings when I specified 'raw' as the I/O layer ?
Doesn't 'raw' mean like 'as is' ?

quick pure perl question
