Round-tripping characters from the terminal to the terminal, broken. Sounds painful. I'd expect the encoding to be the same for the code as for the standard handles, unless either is otherwise specified. It would surprise me if a simple perl -E broke that. I'm leaning towards thinking that, while there's no problem with lexical, explicit declarations of source encodings, the default source encoding is more of a global thing, and to avoid nasty surprises, ought to correspond to the default encoding of the standard handles.
