Hi Martin, Things go even more interesting. Perl 5.12 claims to fix many utf8 related bugs (!) found in Perl 5.10. Have a look here:
http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.1/pod/perl5120delta.pod Hence we may have to check if 5.12 works for us, and then maybe make even more complex fork choice: 8 and/or 10 and/or 12 ...
