This seems either a bug or missing documentation.
Symptoms are that running perl scripts generate (may be not always)
messages like those generated by debconf-show:
[...@varkolak:/tmp] sudo debconf-show locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_PAPER = "a4",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[...@varkolak:/tmp]
