I made such comments, and it seems I wasn't clear enough. What I meant
was that a perl programmer shouldn't care how the perl interpreter
handles stuff internally (for example whether wide character strings are
internally stored as UTF-8, UCS-4 or a proprietary encoding).
How a perl program or library communicates with the world is of course
very important.
