Public ScratchpadDownload, Select Code To D/L

This little program works fine to convert a UTF-16 file to UTF-8: 

#! perl
use encoding "utf16", STDOUT => "utf8";
while (<>) { print }

[download]
But when I try to do what I think is the same thing from the command line: 
perl -Mencoding=utf16,STDOUT,utf8 -p -e 1 < in > out

[download]
The resulting file is a whacked semi-utf-16 format.
