How do I fix locale warnings?

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

Hello, I keepgetting this message whenever I run a perl script:

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

What can I do to fix this? I'm on a linux system.
Thanks,
Harold

Set the `LC_ALL` environment variable to `C`. If you're using `bash` as your shell, you can put this in your `.bashrc`: `export LC_ALL='C';`. This may have an effect on other programs on your system, though.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
