[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
severity 254557 important
tags 254557 patch
thanks

[raising severity as Unicode support is, well, important :)]

Attached is a patch that turns on perl's utf-8 layer in STDIN, STDOUT 
and @ARGV *iff* the locale is utf-8 enabled.

The ${^UTF8LOCALE} is available since perl 5.8.7 (etch has 5.8.8)

Thanks for considering.
