Re: help with validator installation on Solaris 2.8 and apache 2.0.46

Thanks so much for the help. Here is the output from the perl command

>perl -MLWP::UserAgent -e "print LWP::UserAgent->new->request ( HTTP::Request->new ( HEAD => shift ) ) ->as_string" http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close

In the validator that we installed, we tried to use the extended validation 
form and specify the encoding to be "iso-8859-1", but we still got the same
error message:

Sorry! A fatal error occurred when attempting to transcode the character encoding of the document. Either we do not
support this character encoding yet, or you have specified a non-existent character encoding (often a misspelling). 

The detected character encoding was "iso-8859-1".

The error was "Unsupported conversion: Invalid argument at
/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 2247. ".

And here is the line 2244 to line 2251 in check script:

  $result_charset = exact_charset($File, $result_charset);
  if ($command eq 'I') {
    # test if given charset is available
    eval {my $c = Text::Iconv->new($result_charset, 'utf-8')};
    $command = '' if $@;
  } elsif ($command eq 'X') {
    $@ = "$File->{Charset}->{Use} undefined; replace by $result_charset";
  }

Do you have any ideas what is wrong? 

Thanks,
