# NAME

Geography::States::NoUnicodeWarnings - use Geography::States without warnings

# SYNOPSIS

     use open ':encoding(utf8)';
     use Geography::States::NoUnicodeWarnings;
     # STDERR is not full of warnings about characters not mapping to Unicode

# DESCRIPTION

Geography::States is a decent Perl module, tried and tested. It hasn't updated for a while, but then e.g. the USA, Canada etc. haven't added states recently, so there hasn't been a need.

Under certain circumstances - specifically if you have set a global character encoding for PerlIO - using Geography::States will cause warnings. This module fixes that. Just say `use Geography::States::NoUnicodeWarnings` where you would otherwise have said `use Geography::States` and the warnings will go away.

The Brazilian States that give the warnings will probably not be corrupted, although they may not be proper Unicode.
