Well, I don't think having the following lead every portable script is a
proper expectation of Perl programmers:

    my $encoding;
    BEGIN {
       if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
          require Win32;
          my $cp = Win32::GetConsoleCP();
          $encoding = ":encoding(cp$cp)";
       } else {
          $encoding = ':locale';
       }
    }

    use open ':std', $encoding;

The solution may not be to change :locale.
