Thanks for the reply!

I do use this. I've been trying to standardize all my programs on UTF8 
for a while now, so I got to have "fun" learning about all the 
intricacies of encoding a little while ago, too. :)

Regardless, if it was an internal encoding problem, I don't suspect I'd 
be getting the error:

-=-=-=-=-=-
$ perldoc TB/Get.pm
TB/Get.pm:23: Unknown command paragraph "=encoding utf8"
-=-=-=-=-=-

This looks more like an perldoc problem recognizing the '=encoding' command.

Here's the start of the file in question:

-=-=-=-=-=-
package TB::Get;

use 5.008;
use Carp;
use Symbol;
use strict;
use warnings;
use locale;
use IO::Handle;
use utf8;

# Setup for UTF-8 mode.
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8:";
$ENV{'PERL_UNICODE'}=1;

BEGIN
{
	our $VERSION="0.3.051";
}

=pod

=encoding utf8
