Well. I'm getting a big indication that Unicode is a priority, moreso than back compat. This has got my head buzzing with ideas... such as detecting old Perls and conditionally enabling Unicode if the Perl is new enough. I just don't know if it can be done at runtime -- haven't tried it yet. Seems like an unwise strategy.

I may just throw down the guantlet and support Unicode, requiring 5.8 from now on... after all, that's what Perl did. If you don't like it, you can always go get an older version, right?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
