My copy of Tk is freshly downloaded from ActiveState's PPM. The .pm file is dated 29-June-2000 (almost exactly one year old) and says it's $Tk::VERSION= '800.022'.

I'm familiar with Perl's issues with UTF8, and reported many bugs myself. In my example program, the \x{xxxx} construct is used, which does work (puts the corresponding UTF8 into the string's representation) and forces the object into character-orientation (though I didn't check for sure in this test program; I know that from other utf8 experience and bugs in functions that don't respect it properly).

So what is that “latest” version, and is it working on Win32 platform?
