********************************************************** Using (a) wg15-locale there is no problem setting "LANG=XX_XX" to any XX_XX in the /usr/share/locale directory. No error messages are generated when one executes "perl -v". Using "LANG=en_US" as an example.

(2) How does one determine what locale settings are supported and installed on their system? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
