Since no one else has responded to this, I figure I'll tell you my "solution", which is brain dead to say the least. When I run perl, it says: perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories: LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = (unset), LC_COLLATE = (unset), LANG = "us" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the "C" locale. Since everything is unset except for "LANG", I tried unsetting "LANG" too. (In tcsh it's "unsetenv LANG".) That seems to make it stop complaining. Hopefully someone with a real suggestion will answer too. Later, Dale -- +-------------------- finger for pgp public key ---------------------+ | Dale E.
