It doesn't matter if it has the UTF-8 length caching magic still in place, when the value is not UTF-8, providing the magic has had its "set" method called correctly, because then the cache will be marked as void. There wasn't any other magic involved, was there? > I'm completly clueless if that would be a problem or not. > (Rafael replied to that that it actually should be sv_setpvn) Yes, and I'm now not sure why. To my mind, making them all *_mg seems right, as it would trigger any set magic on ERRSV. Although (I think) that this would allow rather sick things like tie $@ to work.
