in reply to Bug in perl -C (Unicode) option parsing?

I took your CDS.pl and got this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l -CDS

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
print ${^UNICODE}, ' ', "\x{100}";

Perl met a wide character when it wasn't expecting one, so you have to add the utf8 layer to silence it.

    That's what -CDS is suppose to do! And like the OP shows, that's what -CDS does ...but not always. That's the bug.
