If perl's UTF-8 support is broken in 5.8.0 doesnt that mean it will break any mod_perl application which is handling XML's or UTF-8 data ?
I didn't say it was broken. I don't really know if it is. What I do know is that some documents, including CPAN modules, are not UTF8 compliant, and opening them as UTF8 gives mysterious errors and test failures. Remember, this locale setting is a recent change. I doubt that chaning it back to what it was in Red Hat 7.3 will impact XML parsing.
To second Perrin, 5.8.0's UTF8 support is not broken. From what I was following on the p5p, 5.8.0 had some minor issues, but 5.8.1 which will be released really soon now (my guess: July at OSCon) have them (all?) sorted out. You may want to browse p5p archives and rt.perl.org to see what UTF8 problems were if any and whether they were resolved. If you find something that would be of interest to other readers, please post a summary here.
