Fwd: Re: metasploit2.4 with buggy UTF-8 in Perl 5.8.0 ?

[hdm at metasploit.com (H D Moore)]

The new version is supposed to be 5.8.7, not 5.8.0. The 5.8.0 release has 
completely broken UTF-8 support (so broken, you can't actually disable it 
from the script in some cases). Uninstall 5.8.0 and upgrade to something 
newer (or find your 5.8.7 binary and symlink it over /usr/bin/perl).
