At least when it comes to platform independence, it is meant to be.

Wow, that's some nice set of encodings.
encoded. All of these are valid and more-or-less frequently used encodings of czech (and slovak) texts. Pretty many of these will work with the small snippet I posted previously if you give the programm the encoding. That is because the fantastic Encode module supports what you can think of: http://search.cpan.org/~dankogai/Encode-2.23/lib/Encode/Supported.pod My opinion is that locale is flawed as of today, because it was always a crutch before the world moves to Unicode.
Thanks for elaborating on locale / Encode and the code example. I see your point.
As for NSP this basically would mean that one would have to replace all open() and print calls with calls to custom methods that do the encoding magic before actually reading from or writing to an IO stream.
