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?
Since it is not tested at all, it may have a fault.
8-bit character sequence It is the basis of the assumption "ja_JP.*"
and is made.
Besides mailnews.pl, it is man.pl etc. The 8-bit character sequence
(EUC-JP) is used.
Now We recommend you to use "C" strongly.
Is there a need to support older versions
of perl that do not support the pragma?
Yes.
In however, that case "eval" could be used.
ex)
eval 'use byte';
