As the maintainer is the general perl@, it would be a little harder to make sure the maintainers and committers would all be wary of the test-case though. The a solution could be to submit a regression test upstream and patch the port for the current version if a patch is known. If no patch is known, then it would be best to mark it broken for users who want unicode support (conditional BROKEN if a PORT_OPTIONS:MUTF8 maybe?).kk -- milki
