Dear Monks

When I compile the following program with perl 5.8.8: 

-bash-3.1$ cat -n prueba.pl
     1  use strict;
     2  use encoding 'utf8';
     3
     4  my $x = 'áéíóúñ€';
     5  $x =~ m/áéíóúñ(€)/;

I tried the same program in a Linux Debian installation with similar results:

Am I doing something wrong? Or is a real bug? May be is already known?

Many thanks
