STDIN->can("getc") being defined means that you can call the method: STDIN->getc().

Sorry about giving you misleading information on the "mode" parameter of IO::Handle::fdopen. From my understanding of the documentation (For the documentation of the "open" method, see IO::File. ... If "IO::File::open" is given a mode that includes the ":" character, it passes all the three arguments to the three-argument "open" operator.), it should have worked.

I also tried moving binmode(STDIN, ':utf8') ... but that did not help.

That is because you don't use the STDIN file handle, but create another one with the UTF-8 decoding layer stripped. Try setting ":utf8" binmode on STDIN, then using calling STDIN->getc (or just getc, since STDIN is chosen by default) in a loop.
