Re: Another Perl 5.8 Problem

[Robin]

that particular warning can be found in the archives of this mailing list along with explanations on what the various solutions offered here do, why you're getting the error in the first place and a perl script that does all the right stuff under the hood for you so you will get it no more no matter how you choose to use your comp

(Perl was built with locale support:

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.
