It had the `UTF8` flag? Ah ok. My Windows machine (which has 5.6) is down at the moment, so I couldn't test. It's been a long time since I touched 5.6 Update: Now that it's back up, `>c:\progs\perl561\bin\perl -MDevel::Peek -wle"$x=chr(0x2660); print le +ngth $x; Dump $x" 1 SV = PV(0x183eb18) at 0x1832a0c REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8) PV = 0x182013c "\342\231\240"\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 4` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
