How to set encoding utf8 layer?

[vitalysennikov]

This code don't work for me:

$fh = IO::Uncompress::Gunzip->new($fname);
$fh->binmode(":encoding(utf8)");

The same code for IO::File works fine. What I have to do, that this work for IO::Uncompress::Gunzip?
Now I am forced to utf8::decode() the read data. Can you help me please?

Hey @vitalysennikov

at present there isn't support for encoding/decoding in the IO::Uncompress::* modules. You have to do it in two steps.
