Unicode sub names are fine.

But, I discovered something else: my doesn't work right. With strict, I get an error that "global $α requires explicit package name" on the line that declares it lexical!

Without strict, it compiles, and the other code shows that it is indeed lexical.

#use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;

my $α= 5;
my $Φ= 4;

sub Φ
 {
 return $Φ;
 }

package XX;
$main::Φ= 33.33333;

package main;

print Φ;

    Here's a twist. Under perl 5.8.0, compiled for cygwin, you program works fine if and only if use strict; is present.

    On the other hand, if use strict is commented out, I get this bizarre error:

    "my" variable $strict::VERSION can't be in a package at lib/strict.pm 
+line 93, near "$strict::VERSION "
Compilation failed in require at lib/utf8_heavy.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/utf8_heavy.pl line 2.
