Since no one else has responded to this, I figure I'll tell you my
"solution", which is brain dead to say the least.  When I run perl, it
says:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories:
        LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE 
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_CTYPE = (unset),
        LC_COLLATE = (unset),
        LANG = "us"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the "C" locale.

Since everything is unset except for "LANG", I tried unsetting "LANG"
too. (In tcsh it's "unsetenv LANG".)  That seems to make it stop
complaining.

Hopefully someone with a real suggestion will answer too.

Later,
	Dale
