Re: perl 5.8 and RACE convertion

Good day Horacio,

I'd advise moving up to the most recent version(2.6) of the client code,
if you are going to be using perl5.8. Testing was done to ensure that the
recent version works correctly under both 5.6 and 5.8.

If it's not possible to upgrade to 2.6, then you should be able to get by
by modifying lib/NAMEPREP. From within there, replace all occourances
(there should be 3) of:
        unpack("U*" <rest of line>
with
        unpack("U0U*" <rest of line untouched>

There was previously a patch in the unsupported directory that would do
this. I'll look into where it has gone.

Take care,

Mark
