well, basically it says that there is a locale set
(namely en_GB ...) and that perl doesn't know about
that locale ... now what could be the reason for that:
- you 'enter' the guest with this locale set, and
the guest doesn't know about it (likely)
workaround: export LC_ALL=C LANG=C
- your scripts inside the guest do set the locale
although the requested locale isn't installed
workarounds: either fix the settings or install
the missing locales
- settings and locales are present, just perl needs
some 'special' locale packages to be happy ...

really depends on the guest setup, I'd say ...
