Sorry for being pedantic, but I think you'll find that those are what we
call "warnings", not "errors".
Errors tend to be fatal.
However, curiously, "<:utf8" 's warnings seems to be regulated by the
warnings pragma.
But "<:encoding(UTF-8)" is not.

The first and last of these warns, the middle does not.
Though all of the above can be captured with
local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
printf "<%s> @ %s\n", $_[0], join q[,], caller();
};
Whether or not that is recommended is a different question.
