Re: Locale setting errors in Perl

[Chris Cantrall]

I can sympathize.  More to the point, I just fixed this.  And while the 
solution may be in the archives, there are also several other solutions 
in the archives for similar problems which didn't work for me.

If your shell is tcsh, put the following 2 lines in your .tcshrc 
login/setup file.

setenv LANG en_US
setenv LC_ALL C
The funny thing was, most examples I saw had equal signs "=" in there 
somewhere, and that didn't work at all.

HTH.

I gave up trying to add modules to perl 5.6.0 and upgraded rather

I've tried the environment settings on the perl upgrade instructions 
on the
Apple website and I made the changes to the environment.plist file as
detailed on another site with no luck.

Is there possibly another fix?
