note the warning "WIDEST_UTYPE" redefined
the .h file from last version of Devel::PPPort 3.44 should fix it

Noncharacters should be allowed

According to Corrigendum #9, noncharacters (the values U+nFFFE and U+nFFFF (where n is from 0 to 10^16) and the values U+FDD0..U+FDEF) are permanently reserved but should be allowed in interchange.

I have no opinion on whether 'nonchar' warnings should still be thrown, but they should be successfully encoded and decoded.

Makefile.PL fails with obscure error message

mlenz@dev7:~/src/p5-unicode-utf8$ perl Makefile.PL
include /home/mlenz/src/p5-unicode-utf8/inc/Module/Install.pm
String found where operator expected at Makefile.PL line 11, near "readme_from    'lib/Unicode/UTF8.pod'"
        (Do you need to predeclare readme_from?)
syntax error at Makefile.PL line 11, near "readme_from    'lib/Unicode/UTF8.pod'"
Execution of Makefile.PL aborted due to compilation errors.
mlenz@dev7:~/src/p5-unicode-utf8$ perldoc -l inc::Module::Install
/usr/share/perl5/inc/Module/Install.pm

If Makefile.PL needs a sufficiently new inc::Module::Install, it should explicitly require a minimum version of it.

RT or Github?

Right now it's possible to report issues in RT as listed on metacpan or on GitHub

We should either:
1/ migrate issues from RT to GitHub and advertise GitHub as the bug tracker
2/ do not use the issue tracker on GitHub

I would suggest -1- let me know if I can help you performing the migration and updating the bug tracker url

Tests failing on Perl v5.19.1+

I'm trying to run blead as my everyday Perl and this is one of my usual modules that doesn't install.

I know we've discussed this before, but I'm putting in an issue as a reminder. :-)

Could you please try to find a tuit for a fix?

Thanks,
David
