in reply to wide character warning!

Hi, and welcome to the monastery.

If you add "use diagnostics;" in addition to your "use 5.018;" Perl will give you a helpful error with a solution:

binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';

Although another choice if you want to configure all of Perl's Unicode options is the utf8::all module.

    Just a Note:
    ":utf8" only marks the data as UTF-8 without checking whether the data is a valid UTF-8, meanwhile ":encoding(UTF-8)" checks that the data are actually valid UTF-8.
    So, I will rather write:

    binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(utf8)");

    If you tell me, I'll forget.
    If you show me, I'll remember.
    if you involve me, I'll understand.
