in reply to Substitution bug on Unicode strings with Byte Order Mark (BOM)

I don't know if it's known, but I can confirm it's not present in perl 5.14.

With perl 5.10.1 I get warnings: 

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xbb, with no 
+preceding start byte) in substitution (s///) at foo.pl line 2.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xbf, with no 
+preceding start byte) in substitution (s///) at foo.pl line 2.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xbf, with no
