That's actually what I'm working on, only I'm keeping the span open for /5\.00\d/ Although I only have to handle input, not output. My solution has been to handle the raw bytes and do the Unicode conversions myself, it seems to work.

    Well, for my case it would mean I would have to do my own UTF-8 conversion -- which would mean to reimplement a lot of code that's already there with later Perl versions... sounds a bit silly. But I guess it depends on your application.
