use strict and warnings first. 'use utf8' is a bug. The rest doesn't matter.	[reply]

`use utf8` is a bug? These source files happen to contain a lot of non-ASCII, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you...	[reply] [d/l]

Putting non-ASCII characters in your code is a bug. Therefore 'use utf8' is a bug. Any locale-specific text should be in separate resource files, so that: non-programmers can more easily edit them to, eg, correct your mis-spellings in other languages; programmers are not restricted to using utf-8-capable devices for fixing bugs in an emergency I now predict that the usual crowd of idiots will crawl out of the woodwork and say "but any modern machine will Just Work". I invite those people to buy and configure a new laptop for everyone who will have to maintain your code. Right now I'm typing on a machine whose OS was installed less than a year ago. It has problems with properly displaying Funny Foreign Characters.	[reply]
