You don't have to phyically sit at the machine, no. I just meant for you to also run it on whatever machine the perl program was running on. > Anyways thanks for the help guys seems to be "okay" for now, ran export > LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 after selecting the language now no errors seem to be > occurring and the output seem fine. Great. Sounds like your problem's solved. > Let me know also if that was a bad idea, I've added it to /etc/profile, > I'm kinda noob at general stuff like this but Its what made sense at the > time :) Putting it in /etc/profile is fine. The "standard" debian method is to put it in /etc/default/locale though, but it shouldn't make much difference if you are only working from the console (or ssh). The only difference is that /etc/default/locale is read by other stuff besides shells. Like GDM for example. -- CJ van den Berg mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
