How does path handling (File::Spec, Path::Tiny) interact with Unicode and encodings?

Perl's path handling modules like File::Spec and Path::Tiny are designed to manage file paths in a platform-independent manner. They handle Unicode and various encodings seamlessly, allowing developers to work with file names that contain non-ASCII characters. Here's how these modules interact with Unicode and encodings.

Example with File::Spec and Path::Tiny

use File::Spec; use Path::Tiny; # Creating a file path using File::Spec my $path = File::Spec->catfile('dir', 'file_with_unicode_файл.txt'); print "File path using File::Spec: $path\n"; # Creating a file path using Path::Tiny my $file = path('dir/файл.txt'); $file->write("This is a test file with Unicode characters."); print "File created: " . $file->basename . "\n";
