Hi!

Here is additional information from JSON::XS author:

My result of that command really show it's 'my perl broken':

$ perl -e '$s1 = $s = "\xAA\xBB\xCC"; utf8::upgrade $s1; die map {sprintf
"%x", $_} unpack "n", $s1'
c2aa at -e line 1.

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i686-linux

I'm using Gentoo Linux, so it's actually dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 Gentoo
package, which add some patches to perl, but looks like they all related
to compilation phase and can't broke anything related to core perl.
