[Gnump3d-users] Wide character in print at /usr/bin/gnump3d-index line 445.

I'm running gnuMP3d 2.9.5 on CentOS 4.1 and Perl 5.8.5. When I index 
my MP3s, I see a lot of the above warning. Searching Google, this is 
apparently related to how Perl 5.8 handles unicode. A suggestion for 
Mime-Defang was to add "use bytes;" before and "no bytes;" after the 
offending line. I did this and the warnings went away. However, since 
I don't know what files were causing the warning, I can't test to see 
if everything still works or not.

My question is, is this really the correct way to remove the 
warnings? Since I don't know what "use bytes;" truly does, I don't 
know how it may affect the output.

PS - I was using "Tag & Rename" to edit my ID3 tags and had the 
"Write unicode data into ID3v2 tags" option enabled so this warning 
being related to unicode makes sense. I've now disabled this option 
but don't really want to go back and re-edit what I've already done.
