The script PERL is executing is complaining about your locales-en package 
either missing or a bad or missing supporting package.  I'd say that PERL is 
doing it's thing and is probably fine.   See if you have the locales-en 
package installed first.  Then see if it has any unsatisfied dependencies.  
All these things should've been taken care of by the installer tho.  Maybe 
something got removed afterwards or maybe you didn't select the locales-en 
package in the install by choosing english as a default?  Perhaps you 
selected english as the standard from the control center > personalization > 
country&language without the after the install without the package installed? 
 Any way these are just some of the things that could cause this message.  I 
don't know what you did on your install so I'm just throwing out 
possibilities.  I'd check along these lines first instead of the bad PERL 
assumption.
