perl -V printed out too much stuff for me to retype! Is there something specific that I'd need to be looking for?

    Your perl version is reasonably recent. No problem there.

    There is an update to the Encode module, I recommend that you install this.

    Also, your version of PAR is fairly ancient. many bugs and issues have been fixed in PAR since then.

    If you have been relying on getting dists from ActiveState's ppm repository, you might need to shop around for more recent versions: try http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm , or download the source from CPAN and build them yourself (you need MS Visual Studio 6 or later).

    In terms of your underlying problem, you might find that there's a locale difference between the two machines, which is tripping the character set encoding logic. Check Locale + regional settings.
