The good news is it's a long time since I consdered myself that. The
bad news is they've gone and added even more twisty passages since that
time. (Python's the answer ;-)
It seems "binmode" is now used for lots more than specifying the binary
mode of a file handle. I think this is the right way to fix it.
$ perl -we 'use strict; print chr(300)' | hexdump -C
Wide character in print at -e line 1.
00000000 c4 ac |..|
00000002
$ perl -we 'use strict; binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; print chr(300)' |
> hexdump -C
00000000 c4 ac |..|
00000002

Cheers,
Ralph.
