locales are installed. locales 2.1.3-18 vs. libc6 2.1.3-18 on all my potato system, and locales 2.2.3-1 vs. libc6 2.2.3-1 on all my woody systems. furthermore, /etc/locale.gen lists only 'en_US iso8859-1' which is all i need. i ran locale-gen and it completed successfully. nevertheless, perl still complains. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- it's as bad as you think, and they are out to get you.
