cpan module install woes - UTF-8 problem?

Not sure if this is the correct group. Please let me know if there's a
more applicable one.

I'm trying to install amavisd-new, spamassassin, and clamav on my ubuntu
7.10 system. One of amavisd-new's prerequisites is BerkeleyDB and there's
also an optional Mail::ClamAV that I want to install. All other modules
installed fine.

Not being that knowledgeable with perl, I usually install modules at the
commandline by:

$ sudo cpan BerkeleyDB

type commands. Trouble is for those 2 modules mentioned above, and also
some others required for spamassassin, I keep getting many errors[1].

I have read that there may be some problems with perl modules if the
environment is UTF-8. Mine is. I read that a solution may be to unset
LANG. Tried that with both:

$ env LANG= sudo cpan BerkeleyDB

and

$ LANG=
$ sudo cpan BerkeleyDB

to no avail. Any ideas? Please?
