How does Dist::Zilla interact with Unicode and encodings?

Dist::Zilla is a Perl module that is commonly used for managing the distribution of Perl software. One of the important aspects of working with Dist::Zilla is understanding how it interacts with Unicode and different encodings. Dist::Zilla makes it easy to handle files that include Unicode characters, allowing developers to create distributions that are internationalized and can be used across different languages and character sets.

The tool supports various encoding types, allowing developers to specify the encoding of their source files. This can be crucial when dealing with documentation, code comments, or strings that might contain non-ASCII characters.

Here's a simple example of how you can specify the encoding in a Dist::Zilla configuration file:

    ; In your  dist.ini file
    [Pragmas]
    use utf8;
    
    [PodWeaver]
    ; Use UTF-8 encoding for your Pod files
    encoding = utf8
    
    [MetaResources]
    ; Any other configurations here
