Subject: utf8 errors in author modules should be detected
This test report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f3350cfa-ef0b-11e2-90ca-df1f445abc7e seems to be due to another author module (not Nonhuman) with invalid utf8 characters in it, that is installed at the same time (my module does not contain any non-ascii bytes at the moment). Is it possible for this code to check for bad characters first (and warn about them), before we blow up in the regexp? (I'll update this ticket if I find the right utf8 function to call.)
