v2.9.1: several tests fail under Perl v5.12.3

[Lx]

Some test failures occur due to an unexpected trailing period in some error messages. One is Unicode-related and I have very little understanding of what's happening there.

Thanks for the report.

The trailing period is a new "feature" of Carp. I think you'll find you have
1.25 or similar. The tests will have to be adjusted.

The Unicode failures are puzzling. What version of utf8::all do you have please?

[Lx]

I have Carp 1.25 and utf8::all 0.004.

[schwern]

829827e fixes the Carp issue across the board (sorry, @doherty, I didn't see your fix) and #223 will fix the utf8 issues.

[spacebat]

I just ran into the exact same failures in perl 5.14.2 with Carp 1.25 and utf8:all 0.004.
Nice to see there is a fix pending, will have to try it out.

[spacebat]

Confirmed #223 fixes these issues for me

[schwern]

@spacebat Thanks for the feedback.

[schwern]

That should do it, everything should be working next release coming Real Soon Now™
