| Subject: | .ppd should be encoded in utf-8 |
"Build ppd" create the PPD file using the local encoding instead of
forcing UTF-8 (this is XML).
If the author name contains non-ascii characters (such as myself, Olivie
Mengué), the generated PPD can not be parsed by XML parsers and so by
ActiveState::PPM::ParsePPD.
Fix: insert the following line in PPMMAker.pm line 116:
$fh->binmode(':utf8');
