Thanks! I wasn't aware of these additions. I gave them a try
but it appears Perl 5.8
Greetings,
I've submitted to CPAN the module Convert::Digits which provides a
conversion service for digits found in the scripts of unicode. It
works fine as best as I can tell but non-fatal errors do appear from
utf8_heavy.pl when working on scripts outside the BMP:
Use of uninitialized value
Greetings,
I've run into another issue with utf-8 support that I thought should
be reported here. Apologies if the issue has already been reported.
I've found that the utf8 flag gets turned off for a string when it
is returned from an inherited method.
That is; for an object of class A::B, where

Greetings,
I seem to remember in the past, possibly with a development
version of Perl, that unicode chars in utf-8 worked fine as
loop iterators, as per:
foreach (..) { do something }
where and are single characters in utf-8. With Perl
5.8.0 the loop cycles only once. Is this a bug or by d
I don't suppose there is a way with POD to provide the manual data
based on locale? I'm thinking along the lines of having translations
of the instructions in several languages, each language block being
marked with a POD command and locale identifier arg. If its not a part
of the POD system, is
Greetings,
I've finally installed 5.8.0 and started putting it to
good use but hit two surprises. Hopefully I've just
overlooked something in the perlunicode and perluniintro
man pages and these aren't actual bugs.
I expected that I could work simply with

I've just been able to look thru the document during the last few
days, it is most impressive. My attention gets taken away by
features that I didn't know about, such as:
To create Unicode literals, use the \x{...} notation in
doublequoted strings:
my $smiley = "\x{263a}";

Greetings,
Is there a way to detect if the terminal that a script is running in
can display UTF8 text?

Greetings All,
I encountered a case where utf8 did not work as expected and thought I
should report it here. The problem occured with the 5_62 development
release:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use utf8;
foreach $i (a..b) {
print "$i\n";
}
__END__
the above worked fine of course, it is when I changed
