This warning repeats for every subsequent extraction. It's getting old.
What do I need to do to make it go away? Is setlocale missing in Mac OS X?
Can I get it? Do I have to set up locale definitions?
Never having had this be an issue before, I'm not sure how to proceed.
This is due to a problem of OS X with respect to proper locale files.
There are a couple of solutions (all of which are outlined in perllocale (perldoc perllocale)):
Probably the quickest is to tell Perl to shut up about it, by setting the PERL_BADLANG environment variable to 0.
For this to be in the env of every process for one single given account on your machine is to put the following
into your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file (create it if doesn't exist - and relogin in).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>PERL_BADLANG</key>
<string>0</string>
</dict>
</plist>

P.S.: Of course the *proper* way of doing this involves your suggestion fixing the locale files. A lot of darwin users would be obliged to you ;-)
