+=head2 Locales on HP-UX
+
+HP-UX installs the locale C<univ.utf8> on all systems. Up to and
+including HP-UX 11.23, this local is defective in that it thinks that
+the characters C<< $ + < = > ^ ` | >> and C<~> are punctuation, which
+they are not according to the Unicode standards.
+
+This appears to be fixed on HP-UX 11.31.
