Jim, still around? Although the UTF-8 fix finally worked, it turned out
to be incompatible with older versions of Perl MDS is still using. I
think I know what to do but I'd like to make sure it doesn't make the
UTF-8 trouble come back again. This is very very unlikely to happen, but
who knows...

Please edit your local copy of sensors-detect, search for the "sub
initialize_ioports" and make that function looks like this:

sub initialize_ioports
{
  sysopen (IOPORTS, "/dev/port", O_RDWR)
    or die "/dev/port: $!\n";
  binmode (IOPORTS);
}

(If you still have the -k4 script, it will probably mean removing
O_BINARY and :raw. These are the things older Perl don't know about.)

Then let us know if the UTF-8 test still works, or not. Thanks!
