This is a bug report for perl from perl-5.8.0@ton.iguana.be,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl 5.8.4.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Tested in 5.8.4 and 5.8.8:

perl -wle 'utf8::upgrade(my $auml = "\xe4"); print "\xe4" =~ /$auml/ ? "yes" : "no"'
yes
This is as expected

perl -wle 'utf8::upgrade(my $auml = "\xe4"); print "\xe4" =~ /$auml/i ? "yes" : "no"'
no
Then case insensitive should match too

perl -wle 'utf8::upgrade(my $auml = "\xe4"); print $auml =~ /$auml/i ? "yes" : "no"'
yes
Self match works

perl -wle 'use locale; utf8::upgrade(my $auml = "\xe4"); print $auml =~ /$auml/i ? "yes" : "no"'
no
Oops, we lost it again
