If you’re calling from another file you edit the pragmas in the file you’re calling from. Seems easy enough.

I actually am not quite clear on the details: one source made it sound like a limited set of scripts was enabled by default. Perhaps someone who knows Perl better can clarify.

If I'm in a Japanese file and want to call a function in a Greek file, I don't see how I can avoid writing a Greek identifier in the middle of the Japanese.

You can list multiple scripts:

    use utf8 ("Greek", "Cyrillic");
This took me a while, but I see how my original post was ambiguous.
