I am getting an install error when installing WWW-Mechanize-1.71 on perl 5.8.8 running on OSX

The error is:

t/local/nonascii.t ……. 1/5 No such field ‘ValueOf’CF.{Ñ}” at /WWW-Mechanize-1.71/blib/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1407

Any hints on how I should debug this?

    Go to the unpacked directory. If you want to start over, either run the CPAN shell and issue the look command

    $ cpan
cpan> look WWW::Mechanize

    … or if you have cpanminus, run it with the --look option:

    $ cpanm --look WWW::Mechanize

    WWW-Mechanize-1.71$ perl Makefile.PL; make
WWW-Mechanize-1.71$ prove -bv t/local/nonascii.t

    prove in verbose mode will make clear exactly which test is failing.

    WWW-Mechanize-1.71$ perl -d -Mblib t/local/nonascii.t

    Step through with the Perl debugger to find the cause of the failure.
