I'm fuzzy on the details but ISTR Perl 5.6.0 was not one of Perl's better
releases and was replaced fairly quickly with 5.6.1. A bit of googling
returns is_utf8_string() together with 5.6.1 but no references to 5.6. This
is not scientific evidence though.
Can you do "perldoc perlapi" with 5.6.0? If so the presence / absence
of is_utf8_string() should solve the problem.
