I doubt it's a bug in mod_perl. Setting locale affects the lots of core things, so a simple test may not trigger the problem. BTW, if I remember correctly Perl 5.6.0 is not utf8-safe (or unicode in general), correct me if I'm wrong. Can you try the same with the latest bleadperl? (skip the 'make test' there is some problem in perl that I'm fixing now). 5.8.0 should be out in a month or so and it should work well with unicode. In any case, you should send a backtrace of the coredump according to the SUPPORT file found in the mod_perl source distro. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
