After I ran them last year I started coding my $HOME/diary in UTF-8, and obviously my scripts don't deal too well with UTF-8, they were written for Latin-1, but luckily enough (and that's the major advantage of UTF-8!) they don't break badly enough. "Of course" there is no time right now to teach these scripts, how to properly deal with UTF-8, but a few changes around him helps well enough.
I keep delaying this task every year, but it has to be done. I really fear every year, processing this task takes many, many hours. It only took like 2 hours this year / today.
Of course it's my fault, my scripts don't deal well with UTF-8. I am rather sure, Perl / Perl5 can deal with it just as well as other modern programming languages. So put it on my laziness!
