[sf-perl] Programmer's guide to Perl I/O

[Joseph Brenner]

Have you looked at the perlapio page?

  https://perldoc.perl.org/perlapio

If you want some help understanding unicode and i/o layers I might be
able to help with that, but I suspect you want to drill down deeper
than I've gone into what's going on-- e.g. it occurs to me that I
don't even know how big your buffer is if you use standard buffered
output.
