Text::CSV supported encodings
There was an error in the code: the encoding declared was not actually used when opening the file. I created an issue in the module, and this pull request to fix it
It looks like the documentation for Text::CSV
requires that the value passed to encoding
must be the same as that accepted by the open
function's encoding
parameter.
The list of possible values is listed in the IO::Handle::encoding
method documentation:
The accepted values for encoding are case-insensitive. The available encodings vary by implementation and backend. On Rakudo MoarVM the following are supported:
utf8
utf16
utf16le
utf16be
utf8-c8
iso-8859-1
windows-1251
windows-1252
windows-932
ascii
The default encoding is
utf8
, which undergoes normalization into Unicode NFC (normalization form canonical). In some cases you may want to ensure no normalization is done; for this you can useutf8-c8
. Before usingutf8-c8
please read Unicode: Filehandles and I/O for more information onutf8-c8
and NFC.As of Rakudo 2018.04
windows-932
is also supported which is a variant of ShiftJIS.Implementation may choose to also provide support for aliases, e.g. Rakudo allows aliases
latin-1
foriso-8859-1
encoding and dashed utf versions:utf-8
andutf-16
