utf8 warning when installing DBI 1.604

Lo,

I get the following warning when installing DBI. All tests pass so I
don't think there's a problem, but could someone elaborate on the
warning please?

*** Your LANG environment variable is set to 'en_US.UTF-8'
*** This is known to cause problems for some perl installations.
*** If you get test failures, please try again with LANG unset.
*** Please also email dbi-dev@perl.org and include the output of 'perl -V'

Thanks

John

In DBD::ODBC it was stopping the Makefile from running - see "Why do I
get "Makefile:311: *** missing separator. Stop." when building DBD::ODBC
1.06?" http://www.easysoft.com/support/kb/kb00771.html. The make either
worked or didn't and if it did the warning can be ignored. I'm not sure
about DBI but it was perhaps a similar issue.
