How can I treat command-line arguments as UTF-8 in Perl?

Question

How do I treat the elements of @ARGV as UTF-8 in Perl?

Currently I\'m using the following work-around ..

use Encode qw(decode encode);

The way you've done it seems correct. That's what I would do.

However, this perldoc page suggests that the command line flag -CA should tell it to treat @ARGV as utf-8. (not tested).
