    Martin, David,
    
    Are you both rolling your own versions of Perl, or are you using
    ActiveState's version?  If the latter, Text::Iconv was added to the PPM
    archives at my request (see
    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2001JanMar/0221.html),
    and works fine; I installed using PPM from their archives...
