Yes, we might want to consider making utf8 come pre-loaded for

finer-grained control than the 'require' opcode), but we could
probably dial back restrictions, 'use' it, and then reset the Safe
container to its defaults. Not sure what other problems that may
cause, however. CCing to hackers for discussion there.
UTF8 is automatically on for strings passed to plperl if the db
encoding is UTF8. That includes the source text. Please be more
precise about what you want.
BTW, the perl docs say this about the utf8 pragma:
Do not use this pragma for anything else than telling Perl that
your
script is written in UTF-8.
There should be no need to do that - we will have done it for you. So
any attempt to use the utf8 pragma in plperl code is probably broken
anyway.
Ugh, in testing I see some nastiness here without any explicit require.
It looks like there's an implicit require if the text contains certain
chars. I'll see what I can do to fix the bug, although I'm not sure if
it's possible.
