Utf8 Error in Config-IniFiles Module...HELP!!!

[luvcal]

I can't be sure this is not user error, but after downloading and running make test, I get the following error: "Can't use \x{} without 'use utf8' declaration at /tmp/Config-IniFiles-2.29/blib/lib/Config/IniFiles.pm line 518." This occurs for every test. I ran make install anyway and created the following script:


#!/usr/bin/perl
use Config::IniFiles;

my $cfg = new Config::IniFiles( -file => "/tmp/perltmp/testfile.ini" );
print "We have parm " . $cfg->val( 'Section', 'Parameter' ) . "."
if $cfg->val( 'Section', 'Parameter' );

This also failed with the following error:

/^\x{FEFF}/: Can't use \x{} without 'use utf8' declaration at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/Config/IniFiles.pm line 518.
Compilation failed in require at initst.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at initst.pl line 2.
This also returned the following error:

It's been a while since I played with this but it sounds like you need the UTF8 fonts installed. Check with your OS manufacturer. There's always a better way...
