Another Perl 5.8 Problem

[Jens-Christoph Brendel]

Hello,

I installed Perl 5.8 successfully a while ago. It worked very well under 10.2.2. Since I upgraded to 10.2.3 recently I get an error message every time I start perl that says:

"perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "de"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for darwin-thread-multi
...
"
(Perl was built with locale support:

bash-2.05a$ perl -V:d_setlocale
...
d_setlocale='define' ).


I tried to figure out what happens using ktrace and found, that perl tries to read a file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_COLLATE. But there is no such file (in none of the locale directories). I would it build by myself, but I'm not sure if it must be a binary file (like LC_TYPE). mklocale on the other hand will only translate LC_TYPE-files.

I looked around and searched for a solution in several Darwin and MacOS X sites, but without success.

Does anyone know how to build the missing locale? Any hints are highly appreciated.
