Most likely unsetting your locale will help! Your log file contains some
high ascii characters, and because of the locale settings, perl tries to
interpret them as if they were UTF-8 character sequences.

	unset LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL

…would do it.

Good luck, and best wishes for 2003,
