How does Mouse interact with Unicode and encodings?

Mouse is a lightweight object system for Perl that provides a way to create and manage objects with minimal overhead. When working with Unicode and encodings in Mouse, it is important to properly handle character encoding to avoid issues, particularly in applications that process text data.

By default, Perl handles strings as byte sequences. However, with Unicode string support, you can ensure that your application correctly interprets and processes Unicode characters. Mouse objects can be created with attributes that support Unicode, but you need to make sure you are using the right encoding when dealing with input and output.

Here is an example demonstrating how to handle Unicode characters in a Mouse class:

package MyApp::User; use Mouse; use utf8; # Enable UTF-8 encoding has 'name' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Str', ); sub greet { my $self = shift; return "Hello, " . $self->name . "!"; } # Usage my $user = MyApp::User->new(name => "世界"); # "World" in Chinese print $user->greet(); # Outputs: Hello, 世界!
