while you are getting attention to the
unicore/To/Upper.pl
file, you may also want to note that I have found a very nasty bug
related to this file, as well as to the files
unicore/To/Lower.pl
unicore/To/Fold.pl
which I have reported using the suggested perlbug tool back on January
6, but nobody has yet responded to it. Tha bug report is still online
at
http://bugs6.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=24826
In short, I discoverd that these files cause *all* string operations
on utf8 strings to be very slooow! Removing the
'%utf8::ToSpecFUNCTION = (...)'
definitions from these files increased the speed on a simple test
regex with Perl 5.8.2 from 77 to 9 seconds on a Windows machine and
from 775 s to 66 s on a (slower) BSD/OS system!!!
