Actually this was originally reported by David Dyck wondering why ":utf16" doesn't work in the three argument form of open: open(FH, ":utf16", $file). (One gets a complaint of PerlIO/utf16.pm not existing.) I thought: 'Ha! Of course one needs to do ":encoding(utf16)" instead!'-- but that didn't work much better, as you can see.
