perl is indeed very pedantic about locales setting; with all three above
set to "en" it should work.

OTOH the isntall maybe shouldn't abort on a perl warning;
at least not on that perl warning.

I don't know where auto_inst.cfg.pl can be found; so I can't help you more
right now; but the needed modification would be to set also the LANG and
LANGUAGE variables (with them defautling to the value of 'lang' if not set)
