Hi William,

Petal now always encode the resulting output as UTF-8, unless you are 
using perl 5.6.1 in which case it doesn't care about Unicode stuff.

That's the only way I could sort of get it to work properly with 
includes and with perls < 5.7.

Petal will not look at your locale settings but Perl almost always 
does... unfortunately locales aren't one of my specialities so I can't 
tell you much more :(
