 sfio, stdio
 
+Perl supports being built without PerlIO proper, using a stdio or sfio
+wrapper instead.  A perl build like this will not support IO layers and
+thus Unicode IO, making it rather handicapped.
+
+PerlIO supports a C<stdio> layer if stdio use is desired, and similarly a
+sfio layer could be produced.
