Why is this beyond repair? The problem of course is that Perl on Windows
assumes that strings without the utf-8 flag are encoded with Latin-1
encoding whereas they really are ANSI encoded. So once the automatic
upgrading assumes ANSI encoding instead of Latin-1, everything should be
working correctly, no?
