Perl 5 was released in October 1994, so it's impressive in its own right that a) there is boilerplate you can add at all to get good Unicode support and b) that you can extend the language to support it using just boilerplate. As the other comment mentioned, improvements by "default" to Unicode support do get included into later Perl 5 releases, but you have to let the compiler/interpreter know that you're buying into that so that it can reduce the boilerplate for you. |
