And is it the same as the version of glibc on the system?

What exactly is the error message of perl?

BTW: you have 'LANG' set to 'en_US' no point in explicitly setting
LC_TIME and the rest of the gang in /etc/sysconfig/i18n

BTW:[2] your LC_PAPER shouldn't really be en_US (letter), it should be
some ISraeli or european locale to provide A4. Ditto for LC_MEASURMENT .

Somehow en_UK (or is it en_GB ?) looks like a better English locale.

One thing to try: look at 'rpm -ql locales-he' . Then 'strace ls' for a
small directory, and see what locales files it opens.

On my debian/unstable system it is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive .
(something new in glibc 2.3?)
