Perl and locale

When I launch an perl application (okay - it was cowsay ) I get an error:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_COLLATE = "C",
        LANG = "pl_PL.ISO-8859-2"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Is an "arch way" to set these variables (profile.d or something) or I just have to set them in .bashrc or any other script?

And what should I assign to LC_COLLATE?

Re: Perl and locale

Have you done what JGC said -> http://www.archlinux.org/news.php#209 ??

Just uncomment the language u use in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root !

Re: Perl and locale

Thanks a lot. I'm quite unfamiliar with this whole locale idea and I don't understand how it works, so that's my problem I didn't have any idea that glibc news might have anything in common with perl...
