+=head1 UNICODE IN OLDER PERLS
+
+If you cannot upgrade your Perl to 5.8.0 or later, you can still
+do some Unicode processing by using the modules C<Unicode::String>,
+C<Unicode::Map8>, and C<Unicode::Map>, available from CPAN.
+If you have the GNU recode installed, you can also use the
+Perl frontend C<Convert::Recode> for character conversions.
