Getting Undefined subroutine utf8::SWASHNEW called at Bugzilla/Util.pm line 109

Question

I am trying to install Bugzilla. For that Strawberry perl , Microsoft IIS , MySQL are installed with latest versions. Followed guidelines given on Bugzilla installation page for windows.

Whenever I run checksetup.pl , all necessary perl modules related to Bugzilla are installed correctly. Only three optional modules were not installed ( perl-ldap , mod_perl and Apache-SizeLimit ). And then it is showing an error:

Undefined subroutine utf8::SWASHNEW called at Bugzilla/Util.pm line 109.
