this is a false breakage. try the following: export PERLIO=stdio perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template"' That will probably be a sufficient workaround. Or you can try the latest perl in Rawhide. The core issue is utf8 trouble, most of which is fixed in the latest perl. Ah, a chance to add this back. I'm reopening, but only for a suitable resolution. The underlying cause indeed seems to be UTF-8, but the suggested workaround (PERLIO setting) didn't work. Turns out RH8 sets the LANG by default (for US locale) to en_US.UTF-8. Changing LANG to the setting from previous versions (en_US.iso885915) makes the install work correctly. Closing due to lack of activity and likely fixed in modern perl. If this is still an issue in RHEL4, FC3 or FC4 please open a new bug with new test information and exact versions of packages. |
