Yes, I just read the help text of those related options and saw the
varying defaults.  `cp1252' is AKA Windows-1252 and I know that's their
extension to ISO 8859-1 so highly likely to be present.  `cp850' I was
unfamiliar with so I guess it got ditched, either by that Windows
version, or Perl's support.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cp850 turns
out to be a predecessor to Windows-1252.
