How can I treat command-line arguments as UTF-8 in Perl?

Question

How do I treat the elements of @ARGV as UTF-8 in Perl?

Currently I\'m using the following work-around ..

use Encode qw(decode encode);

         


        

Answer 1

Use Encode::Locale:

use Encode::Locale;

decode_argv Encode::FB_CROAK;

This works, also on Win32, pretty OK for me.
