You criticize very loudly Debian's handling of CPAN modules and, while I don't know if you are right about CPAN (because you provide no details), this claim is obviously ridiculous: I handle XML daily with Perl 5.005. Where did you see that UTF8 is mandatory for the XML author? Do you really use an UTF8 editor, for instance?
