Subject: "use utf8" missing in Build.PL
The Build.PL contains an author name which is apparently encoded as utf8, but Build.PL itself is missing "use utf8;", so the author name is just interpreted as bytes. In turn the generated META.yaml and META.json have also encoding problems (e.g. I see an warning utf8 "\xE4" does not map to Unicode at /usr/perl5.12.0/lib/site_perl/5.12.0/Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm line 89, <$fh> chunk 1. during installation). I see that the Build.PL is generated by Dist::Zilla, so this could also be a problem of it. Regards, Slaven

Indeed. I reported this to RJBS (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=70343), and he fixed it pretty much immediately (https://github.com/rjbs/dist- zilla/commit/709e8a05e9b08df968f41e2b9ccabadeb6a9bc27). I uploaded version 0.0.4 to CPAN, which should not contain any other changes. Please report if it is still broken. Thank you for the report. - Ilmari
