If utf8-to-roff needs -CI flags, then I'd have thought that utf8-to-roff should keep the -CI flags in its #! line (which perl honours even when not being invoked via the #! mechanism) and removed from the Makefile.
I'll try this now.
Nope, seems perl (5.8.8 at least) doesn't honour the #! line when not invoked via the #! mechanism after all.
Sigh.
Furthermore, `man perlrun' doesn't obviously point me towards an equivalent statement that I can add to the program to get the same effect.
I'm inclined to call this a bug in the new perl: it shouldn't complain about being too late to apply -CI if -CI has already been applied.
Any perl hackers around? Should we be applying a :utf8 PerlIO layer or something?
