+one. This warning is by default on for I/O (like print). The easiest
+way to quiet this warning is simply to add the C<:utf8> layer to the
+output, e.g. C<binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'>. Another way to turn off the
+warning is to add C<no warnings 'utf8';> but that is often closer to
+cheating. In general, you are supposed to explicitly mark the
+filehandle with an encoding, see L<open> and L<perlfunc/binmode>.
=item Within []-length '%c' not allowed
