brew install speedrun fails with bad pragma

[sukima]

When installed on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 I get this:

The encoding pragma is no longer supported. Check cperl at /usr/local/bin/speedread line 39. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/speedread line 39.

Installed via homebrew using https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/speedread.rb

I have exactly the same error on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. Also installed through homebrew.

fixed with:
