I did as you requested and still get the perl problem.  See the
following for my results:



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

This is perl, version 5.004

PS:  Perhaps it is due to using the latest version of Perl?  Is it
possible that the LC_ALL and LANG are compiled incorrectly into the
kernel?  I am using a recently compiled kernel 2.0.30.  I'm getting in
over my depth of knowledge here.
