Without the utf8 pragma, identifiers are not allowed to have

The Perl parser is internally not UTF8-clean, so I would recommend
not to use non-ASCII characters in variable names for now, even if
it looks like it mostly works under "utf8".
Okay. I can certainly get by without non-ASCII variable names.
From perltodo.pod:

Thanks - I didn't know this doc.
