Thanks, sounds good to me.

Sure, I just wanted to try a different option :)

Are you aware of "perldoc perlunicook"?
That documentation helped me get straight which options controlled which
pats of the Unicode maze.

You're right.
According to perlrun(1), you can run also cme this way :
$ perl -C A -S cme modify dpkg-control '...'
I'll tweak cme upstream to assume that @ARGV is utf8. I'll assume that
everybody use utf8 (even outside of Debian) until a bug report proves me
wrong.
There's nothing I can do with the 2nd form you propose. Even with a one-liner,
you writing a script and you have to inform perl that you are using utf8 in
the script. I see no other way that the one you found:

Bug#839593: cme: support (or switch to) UTF-8 encoding
Package: cme
Version: 1.014-1
Severity: wishlist
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512
I just tried to help someone to add themselves to Uploaders
programmatically; unfortunately their first name contains a non-ascii
character (the following is a test name, just the 'í' is taken from
the real one).
Both
% cme modify dpkg-control 'source Uploaders:.insort("María Prueba
")'
and
% perl -MConfig::Model=cme -e 'cme("dpkg-control")->modify("source
Uploaders:.insort(\"María Prueba \")");'
result in a broken 'í', which gets mangled into 'Ã', probably because
perl's default encoding is still latin1.
The following works for me:
% perl -Mutf8 -MConfig::Model=cme -e 'cme("dpkg-control")->modify("source
Uploaders:.insort(\"María Prueba \")");'
(also with utf8::all but apparently utf8 is enough).
IIRC, files in debian/ should be UTF-8 encoded, so I think it would
make sense to assume UTF-8 as the default encoding, or at least add a
switch to cme(1) or read the encoding from the terminal or something
like this.
Cheers,
gregor
