Yes, it’s a 5.8.1 innovation. Unfortunately, you can neither pass
that switch via the shebang line nor easily emulate its effect
from within a script.

(The L<open> incantation in my other mail is unconditional, in
contrast to a `-C` switch with the `L` option. OTOH it will set
the encoding to whatever the locale says; if that’s not in UTF-8,
it will set it to whatever is appropriate.)
