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.
