Insofar as compatibility is concerned, perl's -w flag is equivalent
to the 'use warnings' language pragma, which has been supported since
5.6 (circa 2000). Seeing as perl's Unicode support did not really
mature until 5.8, I imagine that adding the 'use warnings' pragma and
doing away with the -w flag would be a reasonable approach to take.

David
