Na Rolf, I had this same failure but didn't post it, because I had *a lot* of failures and first assume that I'm doing something backwards. I can get there partially now, but I can't clear the warning:

$ perl -de1

  DB<1> $str = "\x{ 41 }"

  DB<2> p $str

I tried everything I could throw at it. Am I on STDOUT whilst invoking perl -de1 ? What am I missing?
