Because it's no different from the utf8 pragma: $ cat t.pl my $x = "ë"; $ perl -w t.pl $ perl -Mutf8 -w t.pl Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0x81, with no preceding start byte) ... Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 3, after start byte 0xeb) ... (Note that the content of the string in t.pl is a single character 0xeb, which is Latin-1 for e-diaeresis.) -- Johan
