+**Note.** Apply [perl-again.patch](https://codeberg.org/irssi/irssi/releases/download/1.4.5/perl-again.patch) when building Irssi with Perl 5.37 or later. Otherwise Irssi's locale/unicode handling may break due to a bug in Perl. See <a href="https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21366" title="When embedding Perl in C, the locale is switched to C/ASCII">Perl/perl5#21366</a>
