[NTLUG:Discuss] perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C")

[Chris Cox]

What do you get when you type:
$ locale

See what locales are installed on your machine....
for example the path:
$ ls /usr/share/locale

I use SuSE (btw), as a test:
$ LC_TIME=af_ZA date
Di Nov 27 21:59:53 CST 2001

You can do an:
$ ls /usr/share/locale/*/LC_TIME
to see what installed locales have a LC_TIME localization.

Hope this helps (this is just some troubleshooting
to see if locales are present and working at all),
Chris
