Greetings, I'm running smoke tests on a BSDI 4.1 machine, and many tests in bleadperl are failing because the error output also contains: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = "", LANG = (unset) are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). This implies i have set LC_ALL to an empty string, but: bash-2.02$ perl -le'print 1 if exists $ENV{"LC_ALL"}' bash-2.02$ it's not set at all... I've tried setting it /explicitly/ to LC_ALL=C in the mysmoke.sh file, but the warnings stay the same... I'm CC'ing to jarkko since i remember him playing around with this lately... -Jos -- How do I prove I am not crazy to people who are? CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.netThread Next
