date::manip installation problems

The 'make test' stage of the automatic install for date::manip results
in copious errors, like:

  Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 3, after start byte 0xe8) at /root/.cpan/build/DateManip-5.44/blib/lib/Date/Manip.pm line 7212.
  Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x6c, immediately after start byte 0xfa) at /root/.cpan/build/DateManip-5.44/blib/lib/Date/Manip.pm line 7215.

This problem is common enough that the documentation acknowledges it,
and suggests the manual install.  The manual install involves running
the debugger and getting the value of @INC.  So here's what results:
  
  [DateManip-5.44]# perl -d Manip.pm
   
  Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.19
  Editor support available.
   
  Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.
   
  Date::Manip::(Manip.pm:12):     $OS="Unix";
    DB<1> print @INC
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0.
    DB<2>

There are no delimiters between paths.  Could this be my problem?  Any
suggestions on where to fix this?  I did not find an INC variable or
these contents in Manip.pm.
