Well, IMHO the easier RT can be installed most widely it will be used. 
Since 5.8.3 isn't shipped with a lot of distros right now... it will be 
nice to have it working... without the *hell* that can be an upgrade of 
perl...

Humm... a way of doing things might be to use version specif conditions... 
might not be the most elegant... but... it works...

I noticed that Encode::utf8_off() is used on other places... why?

Are perl 5.8.3 with a good UTF8 support? If so, it might be worth trying 
to do a perl upgrade...

what do you say?
