Do you have a short, self-contained script that reproduces the problem?

Version: v5.8.3 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi


When the following is read in from a file and then printed out using 
Data::Dumper, the y-umlaut character causes the newline character right 
after to be printed without a leading \.

Input file:

parser: parse error near "Ã"

So when this is dumped to a file in perl code it should be printed out as:

parser: parse error near \"Ã\"

but instead it's printed as:

parser: parse error near \"\377"


Since the " no longer has the leading slash, the quote contexts are 
messed up in the perl output file Data::Dumper creates. Also the change 
from y-umlaut to \377 is a problem, but not as big as the missing \ on 
the ".


Thanks!
