Modules in UTF-8

Greetings,

I finally got around to trying a utf-8 module name, I'm using a development
snap shot from last november, I found it would load but not get any further
than that.  Trying to instantiate a new object my test script dies with:

Can't call method "new" without a package or object reference at utest.pl line 
8.

Does this work in the latest and greatest version (I'm out of space to try)?  
Or is there a reason why unicode class names will not be an option?

thanks,

/Daniel
