what would it take to set the default locale in perl to *.UTF-8?
currently string functions break when faced with unicode characters,
especially 'length'. the normal way of changing the locale:
use locale; use POSIX qw "locale_h"; setlocale(...);
doesn't work because "use POSIX" fails.
perl also reports that it _has_ been compiled with locale support.
lastly, does anyone besides me care?

i'm pretty sure my position on perl is clear.

one could argue that a 'perl-proof' os is a good thing.
