Which you're sort of implying is all versions up to and including 5.8.6 :-) (Well, I can misread it as that. I don't think that you really are implying this). Personally I'd be quite happy using anything 5.8.3 or later with Unicode. The later the better, as more bugs have got fixed. But I feel that Unicode isn't more broken than any other existing part of perl by 5.8.1. And they are out there, and they aren't going away rapidly. Nicholas Clark
