Building modules on Red Hat (Score:1)

by iburrell (4155)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux may have the same problem that afflicted RH 9 and caused Makefiles to be corrupted. The change that made was Red Hat making UTF-8 locales the default, for example en_US.UTF-8. Older Perl 5.8 versions had a bug that produced corrupt Makefiles with a UTF-8 locale.
The solution is to set the C locale before building modules.
export LANG=C perl Makefile.PL

  That was it exactly. I just finished the CPANPLUS install and can now move onto getting other work done. Thank you very much.

  Yes, that's exactly it. Knowing what it is now, I've forced the install of Test::Harness.
  Thank you.

I pour the blue liquid on the red liquid. If it doesn't blow up on my
face, I proceed to turn up the flame under the blue liquid, and so on.
I have very little idea of what I am really doing, I just like the
pretty colors :-)
