Hi,

my blind guess would be it's due to the new unicode engine of
perl5.8. Many modules are not yet ready for it and I don't quite
understand why people (and which disturbs me most - big distros like
RH) are swiching to it so quickly. Perl 5.8 may be stable on its own
but it seems that many CPAN modules are still incompatible with it
(mainly those that had to fight their own ways to deal with Unicode
even before there was any 5.8 released) and it sure will take some
time for the developers to fix them. So, if you want a quick solution,
my suggestion is to downgrade to perl-5.6.1.

best regards,
