This warning is by default on for I/O (like print). The easiest way to quiet this warning is simply to add the <code>:utf8</code> layer to the output, e.g. <code>binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'</code>. Another way to turn off the warning is to add <code>no warnings 'utf8';</code> but that is often closer to cheating. In general, you are supposed to explicitly mark the filehandle with an encoding, see <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Enwclark/perl-5.8.9/lib/open.pm" class="podlinkpod">open</a> and <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Enwclark/perl-5.8.9/pod/perlfunc.pod#binmode" class="podlinkpod">"binmode" in perlfunc</a>.</p> (W utf8) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn’t
