Re: Perl 5.8 locale
Thank you! The link you provided led me to another http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html which had a script that created the environment.plist file and ended my locale problem. Happy in Pennsylvania Bill
Perl 5.8 locale
I'm using OSXS 10.2.4. One of the perl modules I want needs me to upgrade my perl 5.6. So first I tried the Apple supplied Perl-5.8.0-MacOSX.tar.gz. That was a hassle free install but led to my following error. I thought going thru CPAN and getting stable.tar.gz would help. After the config and install I ended up in the same place: * Welcome to Darwin! [iBookServer:~] admin% perl -v perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = en are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Failed to fall back to the standard locale (C). This is perl, v5.8.0 built for darwin * Can someone tell me how to permanently fix this? The temporary setenv LC_ALL C works. TIA Bill
