I don't see this with perl, but with perldoc. perldoc runs nroff and
nroff from our groff-1.19 package is a shell script that tries to
run a 'locale' program to guess a terminal environment for groff.

FreeBSD doesn't have a locale program.

Note that FreeBSD 5 has a locale program.
The issue is FreeBSD 4 only.
