 Sometimes you might really need to know the byte length of a string
 instead of the character length. For that use either the
-C<Encode::encode_utf8()> function or the (deprecated) C<bytes> pragma
+C<Encode::encode_utf8()> function or the C<bytes> pragma
 and the C<length()> function:

     print length($unicode), "\n"; # will print 1
     require Encode;
     print length(Encode::encode_utf8($unicode)), "\n"; # will print 2
-    use bytes;                    # DEPRECATED!
