I've been getting this (maybe only since updated things via Mandrake Update last night -- re. my previous query): [Sat Feb 10] [meph meph]$ perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_US:en", LC_ALL = (unset), LC_MESSAGES = "en_US", LC_TIME = "en_US", LC_NUMERIC = "en_US", LC_CTYPE = "en_US", LC_MONETARY = "en_US", LC_COLLATE = "en_US", LANG = "en" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Don't know much perl, so I've no idea where to start to correct this -- whatever is the actual problem.
