   Using the latest perl, patch level 44,
writting a script, I came upon this bug:

Unrecognized character \37777777740 ignored at /usr/share/local/configure_client_boot_4.1.1 line 158.
Unrecognized character \37777777750 ignored at /usr/share/local/configure_client_boot_4.1.1 line 171.

   The problem is a print with french characters, if the
print is in the main body of my perl script: no problem.
But if I try to print french characters within a subroutine
which is in a different file, I get the error above.

   The subroutine is in a file which is "imported":
require '/usr/share/local/configure_client_boot_4.1.1';

   and it is called this way:

do configure( $host, $arch, $arch_k, '/usr', '/usr/kvm', '/' );

   I would guess that the problem is with the require rather
than the do, but I could be wrong.
