What exactly is broken in RedHat 8.0/9.0 - RedHat's build of perl, perl's support for unicode or perl's support for locales ?
Short answer: the Perl build is fine if you change the locale to what it was in previous version of Red Hat (en_US.ISO8859-1) or simply remove the UTF8 part.
My understanding is that setting locale to UTF8 makes it try to open everything as a UTF8 document, but not everything is one. It causes problems for Java and Konsole too apparently. It could simply be that Perl's handlling of UTF8 is broken, but I didn't want UTF8 in the first place so putting LANG back to what it was before seems like a reasonable fix to me.

Perrin, do you think it's worth documented this somewhere in the troubleshooting section? OS-specific issues?
