UTF8 encoded modules

[Jouke Visser]

Hello,

I just tried to recompile pVoice with PAR (actually using 'pp') and the 
compilation runs fine, but the execution of the resulting .exe fails. I 
think it has something to do with the UTF-8 encoded PrefFrame.pm file 
I'm using. Here's the situation:

OS: Windows 2000
Perl: ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 build 635
Perl Packager, version 0.05 (PAR version 0.75)
Compilation commandline:
pp -o pVoice2.exe --icon pvoice.ico pvoice.pl
Error:
Unrecognized character \xEF at PrefFrame.pm line 1.
Compilation failed in require at script/pvoice.pl line 84.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/pvoice.pl line 84.
Any ideas?

Jouke
PS: PerlApp fails with the same error...it runs fine when it's unpackaged...
