in thread wide character warning!

Just a Note:
":utf8" only marks the data as UTF-8 without checking whether the data is a valid UTF-8, meanwhile ":encoding(UTF-8)" checks that the data are actually valid UTF-8.
So, I will rather write:

binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(utf8)");

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
