Windows 10 has recently introduced a new feature - "Use Unicode UTF-8 for
worldwide language support" checkbox in Region Settings. Enabling it globally
changes codepage to 65001 and makes everything use UTF-8.
When this checkbox is enabled, 90-rt122949.t fails in the following way:
ok 110 - successfully ran
"C:\Users\xenu\AppData\Local\Temp\CKZfGeKF8p\packed.exe ab"
not ok 111
# Failed test at t/90-rt122949.t line 77.
# got: '$VAR1 = [
# "a\357\277\275b"
# ];
# '
# expected: '$VAR1 = [
# "a\205b"
# ];
# '
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 111.
"\357\277\275" is a REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. It seems that when the UTF-8
checkbox is enabled, bytes that aren't valid UTF-8 are being replaced with that
character. "\x{85}" obviously isn't a valid UTF-8 character.
I think that the failing testcase should either be removed or replaced with
something that is valid UTF-8.
