Well, I'm pleased to see you here :-)

I've been here before, but I prefer private mail :)

I tried to use your module Text::CSV_XS for storing some data to CSV file but without success. The problem is national characters. When I tried $csv->combine(('abc',áíá','def') I got "abc\n" only.

As both Mumia and the docs make (now) VERY clear, you need the binary
flag. This version has made that even more clear. You *do* read the
docs, right?
--8<---
Important Note: The default behavior is to only accept ascii
characters. This means that fields can not contain newlines. If your
data contains newlines embedded in fields, or characters above 0x7e
(tilde), or binary data, you *must* set "binary => 1" in the call to
"new ()". To cover the widest range of parsing options, you will
always want to set binary.
-->8---

Your module fail on first field where something greather then \x7f is.

My module doesn't fail here. It is the default, documented, and correct
behaviour :)

But no error, no warning.
Is this a bug or feature?

Feature, or documented behaviour. Whatever you prefer.

In the distribution, check out t/50_utf8.t to see how you should be
dealing with non-ASCII characters. Maybe I can put that example in
the documentation, as I keep refering to that file.
