Perl has a compile time flag to control whether a locale environ is
required, LOCALE_ENVIRON_REQUIRED and USE_LOCALE.  You could recompile
perl without these defined; though it maybe worth the effort to get the
locale setup correctly.  You can check your locale setup do this with the
locale command (i presume from my hpux sys.) eg. "locale -a".  My hp box
keeps local definitions in /usr/lib/nls/loc/locales.

Here is a url, on locales under RedHat:

Hope that helps,
Paul.

The students learn that effective action arises out of silence and a clear
sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
