Subject: libwww-perl: FTBFS: Error making tests.

Package: libwww-perl
Version: 5.803-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is failing to build when making the tests. This is
what I get:
base/message-parts....ok
base/message..........# Test 83 got: <UNDEF> (base/message.t at line 322)
Wide character in print at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Test.pm line 416.
# Expected: '=EF=BB=BFHi there =E2=98=BA

# base/message.t line 322 is: sub { eval { $m->decoded_content } },=
 "\x{FEFF}Hi there \x{263A}\n");
# Test 86 got: <UNDEF> (base/message.t at line 331)

Note that the previous version (5.800-2) builds perfectly. Here
is an extract from trying to build that:
base/message-parts....ok
base/message..........ok

All tests successful.

I don't use any special locale or anything, everything is set to
POSIX:
$ locale
LANG=3DPOSIX
LC_CTYPE=3D"POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC=3D"POSIX"
LC_TIME=3D"POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=3D"POSIX"
LC_MONETARY=3D"POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES=3D"POSIX"
LC_PAPER=3D"POSIX"
LC_NAME=3D"POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS=3D"POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE=3D"POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT=3D"POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION=3D"POSIX"
LC_ALL=3D

I have no idea what else might be wrong.
