Perl will probably need to be 5.8.4 (or at least 5.8.1) for sane unicode. Those versions are targeted by the tool-chain per The Lancaster Consensus: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md The RT queue looks like it could use some love https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=DBD-Pg Perhaps some of your maintainers could work through and close, merge, update etc as appropriate. Is there a detailed description somewhere of "big UTF-8 change"? Tim.
