That's an uppercase /I18N/ - right?
I don't recommend you mess about with individual files with your
perl's core @INC directories.
If you're patching a module, such as in this case - keep it in a
seperate directory - under revision control - and "use lib" to add it
to your @INC path - otherwise you'll end up with a messed up perl
install.

Unfortunately, all the bullet points in that email message are BAD ADVICE.

If you scroll down to the 2nd email - from me - you'll see that I got
the application working properly by following all the points in
HTML::FormFu::Manual::Unicode - which I wrote after a lot of work
finding out how to use unicode properly with perl.

If, after following all the advice in HTML::FormFu::Manual::Unicdoe,
it doesn't seem to work - make sure that your own unicode in your
database / config files / template files is all correct by viewing
them in a utf8-aware terminal - and not using perl.

If .conf files work for you - that's ok, use them - but the only
reason your yaml files aren't working is because your application
isn't handling unicode properly - read HTML::FormFu::Manual::Unicode.
And you still didn't attach the yaml and .conf files - so I can't help
you further!
