Re: locales & perl [solved]

[Paul Brossier <piem-lists@altern.org>]

i never had to edit locale.gen, reconfiguring locale does it for me. it
also runs locale-gen.

in local.alias, however, one can read :
# Note: This file is far from being complete.  If you have a value for
# your own site which you think might be useful for others too, share
# it with the rest of us.  Send it using the `glibcbug' script to
# bugs@gnu.org.
                                                                                                   
sorry i wanted to reply to the list, not to you.

cheers, piem
