So far, yes. The next command I issue might do it, but so far, I've managed 
to avoid it. maybe I'm lucky. Interesting this I'm going to track down is that
CGI scripts running on the same host do NOT clutter up the log with the above,
so the user "apache" is probably configured right.

Maybe, just haven't had the honor yet. I'm running KDE on the machine, and
doubt I've loaded up any GNOME apps (the machine is a recent install of 
BSWare 7.0 #20, but done with the RGB Ruthless Minimal Custom Install [tm]
technique).

>Do you have LANG set before you run perl?  
See the error message above...or... pick a shell and type:
env|grep LANG
LANG=en_US 

>Maybe you deleted your locales directory?
Nah, there are locale directories in several places. Want to know where? In
any case, I haven't touched 'em.
