After some tests I found that in Perl 5.6.0 it makes no diference, what LANG i set. Even with "C" it works with all characters. But in v 5.8 (maybe it is only my wrong build) it only takes "setenv LANG C" and really ignores all characters but ascii.
Does anybody know, why? Any help?

I had perviously discussed problem after installing perl 5.8:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
but suggested help: "setenv LANG C" helps only a little.
My script for counting character frequencies in texts used to work on czech, chinese and anything else under v5.6. Now it is good only for english.
I need perl to work with ANY language, so what LANG should I set? (And why did previous version work with "LANG=en"?)
Any advice is welcome.
