I think they are trying to set a standard for this. However I found that this caused problems with a number of perl scripts (particularly perl makefiles). There was a short thread last month about the UTF-8 problems. No real resolution. But the change you made to the i18n file is what I make on most systems to make sure perl does not choke. I think someone said there was a patch for perl but as far as I know it has not been released yet. -- Scot L.
