| The reason for this seems to be that some XML file in the perl
| package contains 8-bit text (someone's name most likely) which
| cannot be processed using UTF-8 locales.
| When I set LC_CTYPE to any ISO8859 locale the build works just
| fine.

| build process.

Oh, btw, could you, with your UTF-8 locale, go in the perl 5.18 port
directory, build it (and let it fail) and do 
cd `make -V WRKSRC`
cd t; ./TEST ../lib/locale.t -v

and send us the result ? :-)
