It already went through the list a few times. To the critics: Yes, this is a global change and you can keep it local to Big Sister by using environment variables (/etc/init.d/bigsister *and* profile of the Big Sister user). The problem is that changing the character encoding on your system has other effects than only Perl actually working again. On the other hand, the early RedHat systems with UTF-8 enabled by default are already broken ... The UTF-8 problem is not at all restricted to Big Sister. So one might argue that it is a good idea anyway, to revert to some ISO-8859-Encoding (as you do when applying the change you suggested) - at least if you are trying to use Perl for other things than running Big Sister, too.
