Okay, thanks for testing. I didn't notice that you were using a C
locale before. I expect the reason it's working now is because you
installed the "en_US.UTF-8" locale. Hopefully the changes I made will
mean it will work with a "de_DE" or "de_DE.UTF-8" locale as well as
with a "C" locale.

I've just committed a change that is intended to fall back to the
original Perl module if setting the locale for the character encoding
fails.
