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.
To second Perrin, 5.8.0's UTF8 support is not broken. From what I was
following on the p5p, 5.8.0 had some minor issues, but 5.8.1 which will be
released really soon now (my guess: July at OSCon) have them (all?) sorted
out. You may want to browse p5p archives and rt.perl.org to see what UTF8
problems were if any and whether they were resolved. If you find something
that would be of interest to other readers, please post a summary here.
