I've been thinking about this and did some testing (on SuSE 8.0 with heaps of
locales).
1) perl-5.8.x will not build for me with PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
$ cd perl-5.8.x
$ PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ./Configure -des -Dusedevel
$ PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 make
Dies on building Digest::MD5
2) perl-current with those locale settings gives:
$ cd t
$ PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ./perl harness
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25-27 31-33 37-39
49 tests and 413 subtests skipped.
Failed 1/754 test scripts, 99.87% okay. 21/70272 subtests failed, 99.97% okay.
3) Do we have enough data if we *only* run 'make test' with locale settings?
4) Shouldn't we test both ':stdio' and ':perlio' layers under locale?
5) If not, is ':perlio' the one to choose or should we just use an empty
$ENV{PERLIO}?
Ready to hack on the Test::Smoke suite, I would like to have this in 1.17
Good luck,
Abe

I think this requires more thought, therefore
I'm excising the "promise" from perldelta and replacing it with more
non-committal mumbling.
