If memory serves me right, the UTF8 column was added to prevent the
RedHat9/perl-5.8.0 problems from happening again. Jarkko was okay with this
(he actually pointed out that PERL_UNICODE should be set to "" and not to 0).
It seemed to work okay up until last week...
What do you expect from me? (I'm sorry but the thread on p5p on this subject
is way over my head.)
Good luck,
Abe

collects that, doesn't it?
