Using "binmode ???, ':encoding(UTF-8)" on the result from "qx//" ?

LanX has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

after some googling I found that I can solve my problems parsing unicode texts by applying binmode $fh, ':encoding(UTF-8)'; on the filehandle before reading.

But what if I'm using backticks or qx to capture the STDOUT of a command?

binmode STDIN, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';

didn't help...

Cheers Rolf
