Hmph.  Even something silly like:

	perl -MEncode -e 'decode_utf8("", Encode::FB_CLUCK)'

seem to succeed for me with 5.8.8.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's supposed to succeed
for perl versions that are recent enough.


I get

bash-3.00$ perl -MEncode -e 'decode_utf8("", Encode::FB_CROAK)'
Too many arguments for Encode::decode_utf8 at -e line 1, at end of line
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
bash-3.00$ perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux-thread-multi
