Is there a module or function in Perl that can provide this

Why does it matter what it was set to before? I'm always going to be
shoving text out through this filehandle.
It matters because if I'm using Big5 in my module, I *don't* want
binmode set to ":utf8", which is Perl's internal representation of
UTF-8. I would want it set to ":big5".
Again, this is not something the user should have to care about.
Only text is shoved through those filehandles so setting them to handle
Unicode should always be the right thing to do, unless it breaks an old
perl.
Well, if that's the case, then the smarter thing might be to encode
utf8 strings in Test::Builder before outputting them. You'd have to do
something like this:
print $fh map { $_ = Encode::encode_utf8($_) if Encode::is_utf8($_);
$_ } @_;
This should prevent the warning from happening.
