gwyrdd benyw's Journal: Tivo Log: perl perl perl

Following along installing perl modules...

% perl -v
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
                LC_ALL = (unset),
                LC_CTYPE = "iso_8859_1",
                LANG = "en"
        are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for darwin

My system's /etc/csh.login had this in it (added last year to get locales working on my email system, to which I ssh daily):

setenv LC_CTYPE 'iso_8859_1'
setenv LESSCHARSET latin1

I changed the above to this:

#setenv LC_CTYPE 'iso_8859_1'
setenv LC_ALL C
setenv LESSCHARSET latin1
..and now perl runs without locale warnings.

Running the CPAN module-getter, I found I needed to install ncftpget ('fink install ncftp').

The upgrade installer asked me to install Net::FTP asap, so I did that first (and then CPAN::WAIT).

Net::NNTP also was needed for some of the module installations.

This all took over a day to install.
