I have a problem here with Perl v5.8.0 on Red Hat 9. Simplified, my
script looks like this:

while (<>) {
   s/Ä/cx/g;
   print;
}

This works with older versions of Perl, and it works in the C locale,
but it doesn't work here in a UTF-8 locale. I tried putting stuff like
"use bytes" or "no utf8" or "no locale", but it didn't help.

Can anyone suggest a good solution, ideally one that is portable
between different locales and different versions of Perl?

maybe write it in oct, like s/\344/foo/g instead of s/Ã/foo/g ?
