Figuring it was a LANG envariable setting, I explicitly sent LANG

Maybe I should try en_US.ISO-8859-1?
xxxx.UTF-8 is not supported.
I'm aware of this.
You Instead of "en_US.UTF-8" You have to set "C".
probably "LC_ALL" or "LC_CTYPE" etc. It is en_US.UTF-8.
Please set up LC_ALL=C and use mknmz.
Is there any drawback of including the "use bytes" pragma to
avoid this problem? Is there a need to support older versions
of perl that do not support the pragma?
As a sanity check, namazu could do a locale check (checking various
envariables), and if set to a UTF-8 locale, could either generate
a warning, and fallback to the C locale, or could error out
stating unsupported locale.
With later linux distributions now defaulting to UTF-8-based locales,
such checks may eliminate user mail to the list about this.
