I wasn't certain the LANG variable would be a solution... It was just
something I remembered about perl in general, under redhat 9.  I tracked
down the message I had seen, that first mentioned perl wierdness.  It's
here: http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/May-2003/msg00319.html

The message discussed problems building a particular perl module.  My
thought was that maybe you had a bad build of a module somewhere.
