Running 'decode_utf8("", Encode::FB_CROAK)' causes perl 5.10 to die on OS X 10.6.4 with:

Modification of a read-only value attempted at /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Encode.pm line 216.

This is because Encode 2.40 updates the string to decode in-place when a second argument is passed. Work around this by passing an empty variable ($_) instead of a constant string ("")
