Test fail when upgrading Encode

I am trying to install Encode 2.12 via CPAN on a RHEL 3 system.

I am getting the failed tests:

t/enc_module...............ok 1/3#     Failed test (t/enc_module.t at
line 58)
t/enc_module...............NOK 2#     Failed test (t/enc_module.t at
line 58)
t/enc_module...............NOK 3# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 3.

The error is that the test got some Asian text but expected the same
text with a newline in the end.

I don't think I can quote the Asian text in my email.

Any help in resolving this is appreciated.
