It was Wednesday, November 19, 2003 when Ramprasad A Padmanabhan took the soap box,
saying:
: I have a program that writes into a LDAP server using Net::LDAP that did
: not work.
:
: After wasting 2 days I ultimately found out that th LANG environment
: variable on my box ( Redhat 9.0 ) was creating the problem.
:
: If I do a
:
: unset LANG ; /path/myscript.pl , then the program works fine
:
: But if in my program I say
:
: $ENV{LANG} = undef;
: This does not seem to work
:
: So How do I ensure that my program will run without the LANG variable
: set to some stupid value
Setting your environment has to happen as early as possible, in a
BEGIN block, so it's the first thing Perl does after compiling the
source code.
BEGIN {
undef $ENV{LANG};
}
