Perl doesn't like utf8
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_COLLATE = "C",
LANG = "en_US.utf8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").Perl doesn't like it when I have my locale set to en_US.utf8. It works fine with just en_US. Is there a fix for this?

Re: Perl doesn't like utf8
Edit /etc/locale.gen, uncomment your locale (en_US.utf8), and run locale-gen.

Sorry to bring up old posts but is there a better way than this solution?

Re: Perl doesn't like utf8
Why you don't want to generate a locale?
(lambda ())

Re: Perl doesn't like utf8
How could you set perl to a locale if that locale doesn't exist?
Maybe there are ways to encode just specific things in utf8, rather than having to change all of per's locale. If this is what you mean, then read the perldoc
