If like me you just have upgraded your Debian system to Lenny, you probably encounter the following warnings while launching perl:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "fr_FR.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
To get rid of these annoying messages, I’ve just reconfigured locales with the command:
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Choose your locale when you’re asked for your “Default locale for the system environment”.
You should have a message like:
Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete.
Then, logout, login and your perl installation works fine!

Some people may also need to install locales.
apt-get install locales
