Crypt::Random not working

BMaximus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone run into this problem before with Crypt::Random and RedHat 9.0? I compiled in Math::Pari and the test came out fine but when I tested Crypt::Random I got garbage.

Anyone have an idea as to why its blowing up like this? I installed it anyways and its not working in a small key making script I made a long time ago. I still get the devurandom load error. I even checked the module to see if any syntax errors were in it and I didn't find any. I know it works for perl 5.8.0 because I had it on the last install I did and it worked fine.

perl -Mblib -MCrypt::Random::Provider::devurandom -e 1

update: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/cpan-testers/2003-05/msg02287.html

The tests are OK when calling with LANG=C. The system default here is
en_US.UTF-8.
