Subject: Installed.t tests 29 & 40 fail under RH 9.0 and Perl 5.8.0
Trying to upgrade from ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.03 to 6.05 on a system using RH 9.0 and Perl 5.8.0. Original problem is that makefiles for several other CPAN modules aren't being properly built so trying to make sure I have latest and greatest MakeMaker. MakeMaker Installed.t tests 29 and 40 fail finding more files than expected. 29 expects 1 finds 2. 40 expects 2 finds 5. My version of File::Spec reports itself as 0.83 while the latest on CPAN is only 0.82. Has RH shipped a special version maybe? Thanks, Bryan.

Subject: Redhat 9.0 perl problem
RedHat 9.0's perl has many problems related to Unicode and their use of UTF-8. Config.pm + UTF-8 is damaged and this bites MakeMaker. The simple solution is to change off Unicode by setting your LANG environment variable to C or some other non Unicode character set. There is a new RH9 perl package in development. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87682
