Well just had another crack at it with a little more success I checked my ENV variable and I had
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 set I removed this from my ENV and the Makefile.PL make and make test all worked as expected ""John Scoles"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Testing with RH lunix Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54 and perl 5.8 > > Ran Perl Makefile.PL but with this warning > > *** You are using a perl configured with threading enabled. > *** You should be aware that using multiple threads is > *** not recommended for production environments. > > *** Note: > The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed. > If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer > modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient, > Storable and Net::Daemon modules.
