Description

Perl stores a string as bytes, or will upgrade it to utf8 when unicode is used. However the perl bindings don't check the utf8 flag before adding/removing strings from amqp/map, so treats everything as bytes. This isn't noticeable on most terminals (as it'll interpret the bytes as utf8) but regexes and length don't work as expected.
