Subject: Fix compatibility with 5.8.0 and earlier: avoid utf8::is_utf8()
The introduction of utf8::is_utf8() broke compatibility with Perl 5.8.0 and earlier. You can see the test failure here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/08/msg5033628.html Maybe Encode::is_utf8() can be used instead? Supporting back to Perl 5.6 would be nice.

I have a proposed fix for this in the tree now. The fix just makes escape() be UTF-unaware below 5.8.1 instead of 5.7. This may make tests pass for those versions. Perhaps there's a better fix that that uses Encode::is_utf8() or something else, but I'll let something who is actually using 5.8.0 or earlier figure out what the better patch is. It's my understanding that UTF-8 support made a big improvement around Perl 5.8.2, so people who care about it alot should probably find a way to upgrade instead of further patching CGI.pm Mark
