Reporting against Perl 5.28.1, PadWalker 2.3, EPIC 0.7.x
If the source code to be debugged is in UTF-8 (with "use utf8" pragma), and variable names contain non-ASCII characters (e.g. umlauts), these characters will be displayed garbled (e.g. as two characters representing bytes in the UTF-8 encoding rather than the actual character) in the Variables view.
The root cause is lack of support for UTF-8 handling in PadWalker 2.3, see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133424
