Oops. Visually scanned for it, but didn't see the utf8 function call the first time through. Should have used a highlighting finder!   (Damned human eyes...)

    utf8::xxx functions can be used without "use utf8". it's documented.

      Interestingly, the utf8::utf8() function is not documented (Strawberry 5.14.4.1, online 5.18.0), although it exists. What does it do?

      Update: Sorry, I was confused by Perl's autovivification behavior. 

      >perl -wMstrict -le
"print exists &utf8::is_utf8 ? 'yes' : 'no';
 print \&utf8::is_utf8;
 ;;
 print exists &utf8::utf8 ? 'yes' : 'no';
 print \&utf8::utf8;
"
yes

no
