UNIVERSA.pm (I guess this is the case).

They load UNIVERSAL.pm and the OS truncates it and finds UNIVERSA.pm.

  Size reduction was a byproduct of */Makefile.PL linting.
  As for "Encode::Supports", there is another concern in perldoc;  is
perldoc smart enough to 8.3-ize filenames?

Same logic as above works - name passed to OS is still the long one.

Okay, I am convinced that we should stick with the original, long, user-friendly names but how about ucm-transitions? As of Encode-0.98, there are so many duped tables under Encode/ and I want to tidy it up if possible. Well, for this I will wait what Sadahiro-san has to say.... At leas euc-jp must be in *.ucm because it contains triple-bytes (JIS X 0212), which Encode::Tcl used to handle via Encode::Tcl::Extended but now ::Extended is gone....
