I'm using a combo roll-your-own/Mandrake 7.2 Linux distribution, with perl-5.6.0-17mdk and associated packages installed. My problem is this:

==========
matt@mattman ~ > perl -v
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_MONETARY = "en_US",
        LC_CTYPE = "en_US",
        LC_NUMERIC = "en_US",
        LC_MESSAGES = "en_US",
        LC_TIME = "en_US",
        LC_COLLATE = "en_US",
        LANG = "en"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I can't seem to figure out how to set the locale and stuff to get rid of these messages. Using the set command doesn't list them, but setenv does. I'm using tcsh, by the way. Same thing happens if I use bash. Anybody have any answers, or should I just rebuild from source?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
