encoding.pm is deprecated because its behaviour is just too strange to support.

This meta ticket lists tickets that report on that strange behaviour, or even bugs[1] in that behaviour, to be closed once the feature is removed.

[1] if you can tell what's buggy and what's expected behaviour

Removed 31923, while the original ticket was about C<use encoding> other tickets more directly related to PerlIO​::encoding (which is the
based cause of the issue) have been merged into it.

1. I don't see an RT listed in this meta ticket specifically for the removal of encoding.pm. Is there such a ticket? If not, when/where was the decision made to remove it?

2. Also, *which* 'encoding.pm' are we looking at? Once I build blead I see​:

#####
$ ls -l cpan/Encode/encoding.pm lib/encoding.pm ext/PerlIO-encoding/encoding.pm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 22452 Feb 24 22​:25 cpan/Encode/encoding.pm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 1219 Feb 24 22​:25 ext/PerlIO-encoding/encoding.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 22452 Feb 24 22​:25 lib/encoding.pm
#####
... where, I presume, the first and third in the listing above are the same file.

Thank you very much.

1. I don't see an RT listed in this meta ticket specifically for the removal
of encoding.pm. Is there such a ticket? If not, when/where was the decision
made to remove it?

I'd have to look, but it was decided within the last four years.

2. Also, *which* 'encoding.pm' are we looking at? Once I build blead I see​:

#####
$ ls -l cpan/Encode/encoding.pm lib/encoding.pm ext/PerlIO-encoding/encoding.pm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 22452 Feb 24 22​:25 cpan/Encode/encoding.pm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jkeenan jkeenan 1219 Feb 24 22​:25 ext/PerlIO-encoding/encoding.pm

The first, encoding.pm shipped with Encode. The second is PerlIO​::encoding,
the "encoding" PerlIO layer.
