Subject: Handling of unicode module names?
The module name check presented by Schwern in [1] includes extensive modification of the $valid_module_name regex. Do you think these are warranted? Should M::R include them? I am adding Schwern to CC in case he has extra thoughts. Cheers!

As already noted in the M:R doc, Perl's handling of non-ASCII characters in source is inconsistent. That looks to be getting better in 5.16, but there's still been no work on how to map non-ASCII module names into filenames, either the notional filenames used with require() and %INC or the actual filenames used in the host filesystem. Until non-ASCII module names actually work and are practically usable, M:R will accept only the original ASCII syntax.
