If perl's UTF-8 support is broken in 5.8.0 doesnt that mean it will break any mod_perl application which is handling XML's or UTF-8 data ?
I didn't say it was broken. I don't really know if it is. What I do know is that some documents, including CPAN modules, are not UTF8 compliant, and opening them as UTF8 gives mysterious errors and test failures. Remember, this locale setting is a recent change. I doubt that chaning it back to what it was in Red Hat 7.3 will impact XML parsing.
