So, what's the prerfered way to use native encodings as a Perl source code in Perl 5.8?
It seems that encoding pragma is handy but not feature complete. It does work on scripts, not on modules. Filter::Util::Call is something dangerous, and has a problem inside C<eval EXPR> (hence with Apache::Registry) IIRC. Is embedding native strings into Perl code considered harmful after all, and do we need something like native2ascii in Java[1]?
