abachus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello there,

I'm getting the following error each time i run Perl :

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_COLLATE = "C",
LANG = "en_US"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

After that output on STDERR, Perl runs as normal. I'm not sure what caused this and how can I stop this happening ? To me it would suggest a lack of a few environment variables, sure enough I don't see them when looking at the such variables. But what should I be setting them too ? By the way its a slackware linux box.

thanks,

Isaac.
