Thanks for the explanation and link.

For the benefit of others,
What is wrong with:

perl -we 'my $s = qq{\x{2019}}; open(my $f, q{<}, \$s) or die $!'

is that it would make assumptions about the perl internal string representation
that the language does not guarantee.

Instead an explicit encoding/decoding must be done:

perl -we 'use Encode; my $s = encode(q{utf8}, qq{\x{2019}}); open(my $f,
q{<:utf8}, \$s) or die $!'
