Stop spreading FUD. They need
use encoding ENCNAME Filter => 1;
(what I<ENCNAME> could possibly be?) but
* "use utf8" is implicitly declared so you no longer have to "use
utf8" to "${"\x{4eba}"}++".
what pretty much defies the purpose of C<use encoding;>.

That's not a whole story.

For a first glance, me wondered: what the heck is with yours
C<use warnings;>. Now I feel much better.
