Setting environment: $LC_*, $LANG, LC_ALL, LANGUAGE

[James Hughes <jhughes@kos.net>]

Hello,

After a recent upgrade, some applications are complaining about
certain environment variables not being set. Specifically, man
complains "can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are
correct", and perl prints the following:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I guess the two main offenders would be LANGUAGE and LC_ALL. What are
reasonable values to set these variables to?		

Thanks,
James
