	I use the tcsh shell, and couldn't find any scripts that could
possibly be setting LANG to "us". Just to be sure, I manually did 'setenv
LANG "EN_us"'. However, I still get the error message as follows:

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 = "EN_us"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the "C" locale.

	Thanks for your help,

Corey Miller
