CentOS - Jun 2007 - Unrecognized character \xED at perl-Date-Calc-5.4-1.2.2.1.i386.rpm line 1

I've just install centos 5.0 on new PC. However it gives this error while
installing per-Date-Calc:

[root at piranha tmp]# perl -ivh perl-Date-Calc-5.4-1.2.2.1.i386.rpm 
Unrecognized character \xED at perl-Date-Calc-5.4-1.2.2.1.i386.rpm line 1.

what could be the problem?

Maybe you should use rpm to install it, instead of perl. Something like:
rpm -ivh perl-Date-Calc-5.4-1.2.2.1.i386.rpm

Possibly an even better way is to do a 

yum localinstall whatever-packagename-version.rpm
