Thanks for testing, will be in the next release.

Yes, essentially we're doing
$ perl .../utf8_heavy.pl
which produces the same warnings.

I don't think we're loosing anything here:
for "pp -M Foo::Bar ..." we still do
- scan Foo/Bar.pm
- add any %Preload dependencies of Foo/Bar.pm to the list of dependencies
If "-x" was also specified, we still run Foo/Bar.pm (pointless,
but harmless except for possible warnings).
But we don't:
- scan all the %Preload dependencies of Foo/Bar.pm explicitly, but AFAICT
Module::ScanDeps will scan them anyway
- with "-x" run all the %Preload dependencies of Foo/Bar.pm (even more
pointless, and harmful as they might include files that aren't Perl source)
Cheers, Roderich
