This Week on perl5-porters - 18-24 May 2008
===========================================

"Ah, more details about filenames. Well, this sounds positively weird.
Octet strings are not particularly user-friendly if you can't interpret
them as characters reliably.

From what you say, and what I think I've heard elsewhere, Unix filename
interpretation is a mess. Seems like the only bigger mess I've heard
about is VMS file handling, where they seem to have a choice of several
messes." -- Glenn Linderman, deep in the heart of Unicode, case
conversion, filenames, encodings, character sets, ß and other exciting
issues.
