system settings
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
On a FRESH INSTALL of Manjaro KDE:
1. go to System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats
2. Under Language choose American English
3. Under Formats select the ones shown in the attached screenshot
4. open a terminal and run perl
OBSERVED RESULT
Generally speaking, in the KDE interface (e.g. the tray-icon clock and
calendar) I see the formats I chose and expect.
However, when running perl (and I think other stuff) from a terminal, I get
these errors:
```
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_ADDRESS = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_150.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "es_ES.UTF-8",
LC_NAME = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_NUMERIC = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_PAPER = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_TIME = "en_150.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
```
Asking in the Manjaro forum, they told me:
"The issue is your time, Currency and Measurement settings in your Formats.
Since you only have en_US.UTF-8 enabled you get this error."
EXPECTED RESULT
I shouldn't get those errors. If setting those formats require enabling,
installing, or whatever locales, then do it when I choose those settings, or at
the very least show me a warning that something in my system is missing (and
tell me exactly what) before you allow me to apply those settings.
