This is really neat. I didn't know that perl has such extensive
utf-8 support now (including the whole unicode database). I know
perl only from the "Llama book" (Learning Perl, 1997 edi

Since you use GNOME, you can either enable a keyboard layout that has
those characters (such as US International),

The Compose key is very useful for occasional entry of non-ASCII
characters; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key for a
description. E.g. Compose=c becomes €, Compose"a becomes ä.
Hundreds of such "compose
For entering non-ascii characters, I use three techniques:
(a) when the characters are part of a set used routinely, e.g.
the alphabet of French, install a keyboard map specifically

I don't know how to type the accented character.
