Unicode Depresses Me

Perl is meant to have reasonable Unicode support. So why do I still have to write this at the top of a test?

  use utf8;
  use Test::More 'no_plan';
  {
      my $Test = Test::Builder->new;
      binmode( $Test->output,         ":utf8" );
      binmode( $Test->failure_output, ":utf8" );
      binmode( $Test->todo_output,    ":utf8" );
  }

I would have thought that adding the -CS flag to the #! line would have fixed this. But that doesn’t do it. Ah well, I’ve filed a wishlist bug: RT#21091.
