I didn't mean to. Let me rephrase:
The documentation says that pack "A" is limited to 7-bit chars, so your
surprise is understandable. But that doesn't make it a bug.
C<< pack "A" >> returning something a string with UTF8=1 is only a problem
if you have buggy code both on the input and the output side of C<pack>, so
why do you feel it's a bug? Did pack "A" ever do something you didn't want?
