The patch adds this to encoding::warnings:
In addition, the L<warnings> pragma, which caused many of the
problems, is no longer supported.
Shouldn't that be «the L<encoding> pragma»?
I also noticed that some places check for "$]" >= 5.025, while others
check for $] >= 5.025003. Is this discrepancy intentional?
The test in op/concat2.t can just go, since it's meant to test the
behaviour of concat under 'encoding', which no longer exists.

I see nothing wrong with that.
