If your locale environment variables (LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG)
contain the strings 'UTF-8' or 'UTF8' (case-insensitive matching),
the default encoding of your STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR, and of
-B<any subsequent file open>, is UTF-8.
+B<any subsequent file open>, is UTF-8. Note that this means
+that Perl expects other software to work, too: if STDIN coming
+in from another command is not UTF-8, Perl will complain about
