Running the test suite under env PERL_UTF8_LOCALE=1 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
(or whatever UTF-8 locale one has) seems to shake out some quite weird
bugs (this is the new way, the old way was just LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8):

26 tests and 410 subtests skipped.
Failed 6/588 test scripts, 98.98% okay. 111/60538 subtests failed, 99.82% okay.
(This with a Debian 3.0 and LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8)
The first four are bizarre failures of require(): somehow UTF-8 being
part of the mix (the required filename being UTF-8 tagged, maybe?)
causes require to fail, sometimes. I tried cutting the test scripts
down but they are all rather complex, so I got lost. The last two are
not much clearer as far as failures go.
