Re: Locale setting errors in Perl
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'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? Kevin

The result will be that execution of perl stuff via AppleScript, BBEdit worksheets, Project Builder, the Execute-Text Service, and others will still have problems. Apple can repair it by making the login which you do with the startup window be a true *NIX login. but that seems unlikely. -- -- As a citizen of the USA if you see a federal outlay expressed in $billion then multiply it by 4 to get your share in dollars. --
Re: Locale setting errors in Perl
And, if you run scripts from BBEdit like I do, you should write something like ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd plist version=0.9 dict keyLANG/key stringen_US/string keyLC_ALL/key stringC/string keyMAILADDRESS/key string[EMAIL PROTECTED]/string /dict /plist in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.

And that means login to the OS neXt GUI and not login via Terminal or ssh. Just creating the .plist won't do anything until you logout and login again. And. . . I do wish Apple would fix that. A login should be a login to Darwin wherever it is performed.
