Hi all, for those interested in installing PAR on a Redhat9, you might experience problems when installing Archive::Zip.
Michael G Schwern says: RedHat 9 shipped with a prerelease version of Perl 5.8.1 with broken UTF-8 handling. If you set your LANG environment variable to something which is not UTF8 (de_DE should work, or C) things should start working again. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87682 I solved the problem setting LANG to, for example: export LANG=en_US and the installation runs smoothly well, Best regards, avilella
