[Dxspider-support] Unicode support?

I just did a look at talk using the cluster console application but I
get the same output via telnet from my linux desktop when sysop

sh/talk and see some output that looks like the following 

21Oct2010 at 03:38:06 RZ4FA -> UA4HBW (>WR3D) � ������ �� ����                                                                                                          
21Oct2010 at 03:39:08 UA4HBW -> RZ4FA (<S50DXS) �� ����� ��� �� � ����� ������ T IK2HKT �� ���������, �� �� ��������, � �� ����� ����� ���������                        
21Oct2010 at 03:39:30 RZ4FA -> UA4HBW (>WR3D) �� �������� �������� -)

I presume that this output is a local character set issue and the the
talk messages are in Cyrillic, do I need to do something to add Unicode
support or does spider not use unicode ?

It appears that my server is using unicode but do I need to do anything
to add unicode support to perl?
It would be nice if talk was consistent in how it displays 

The dxspider server is running CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
my locale settings are as follows 

# locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
