in thread ctype locale: Invalid argument - what might cause this error?

Apologies to you both, and to everyone else - I know better than to have posted such a question w/o some "clues" to work with. I'm afraid I've been up too many hours, and need some rest.

In answer to your question - or rather, to place what I should have already;

sys UNIX
# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Once again, sorry for the omissions, and thank you for all your time and consideration.

Advance perl usage; Do something really cool with it, and then share it with everyone.

    P.S. Just a "hunch"; do I need to set a perl env in the script to make perl happy, maybe?

        Thank you for the reply "Anonymous Monk"

        I'll try the perllocale pointer you kindly provided.
        I've actually been using the FreeBSD family of BSD's. I enquired on their lists about this back in 2007 but nothing was offered. The machine I'm running this script on is running current (8-RELEASE) as of 7 days ago. So if it is *BSD's perl distrib, nothing' changed.

        Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
