This to me is where Perl ends up super short.
Basically try using it outside of the anglosphere in the world of Unicode and support falls apart. Sure is excellent if you need to do something like extract a bunch of 1980s database files encoded in LATIN-1 though!

Or, y'know, a bunch of 2010s database files encoded in latin1. Fun fact: Did you know that MySQL 5.7 is still a supported version in 2022?
