Hi there
I installed perl 5.6.1 on one of my Macs running OSX via CPAN,
using the following method -
localhost% sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> get G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
cpan> look G/GS/GSAR/perl-5.6.1.tar.gz
localhost% perl -i.bak -p -e 's|Local/Library|Library|g' hints/darwin.sh
localhost% sh Configure -des -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile
-Dldflags="-flat_namespace"
localhost% make
localhost% make test
localhost% mv INSTALL INSTALL.txt ; make install
but I got the following error cascade when I ran "make test"-
perl: warning : Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US"]
are supported and installed on your system
perl: warning : Falling back to the standard locale ("C")
perl: warning : setting locale failed.

perl: warning : Please check that your locale settings:

[....installation proceeds]
I'd just installed the same version of Perl on another Mac without a
hitch so I assumed (mother of all FK UPS) this was nothing
particularly serious, finished the installation, and perl installed.
However now I get the same locale warning when I do perl -v and the
same cascade display on installing any other modules through cpan,
even though the modules appear to install.
Affected system -
PPC G4
OSX 10.1.5 (5s66)
768 Mb ram
What gives?
