In addition, tests are failing (http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/53db7354-4ee6-11e1-9874-b2933f3ac79b) because people have PERL_UNICODE set to SAL. The failure is:

t/80proxy.t ..................... skipped: modules required for proxy are probably not installed (e.g., RPC/PlClient.pm)

Should we skip those tests when PERL_UNICODE is set?
