As I understand it, the -CSD commandline option should add UTF8 to the

STDIN and STDOUT, and not other streams.

Anyone know what's going on?

  my $file = new IO::File($filename) or die "Error opening delimited file
$filename";
  my @layers = PerlIO::get_layers($file);
  my @layers2 = PerlIO::get_layers(\*STDOUT);
  print "Layers: ".Dumper(\(_at_)layers,\(_at_)layers2);

It seems that IO::File somehow bypasses the effects of -C.  As a
workaround you can use the plain boring open().
