[OS X TeX] Fwd: no tex question

Here is what "info perllocale" gives me in the terminal (excerpt):

        LOCALE PROBLEMS

        You may encounter the following warning message at Perl startup:

                perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
                perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
                        LC_ALL = "En_US",
                        LANG = (unset)
                    are supported and installed on your system.
                perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale  
("C").

        This means that your locale settings had LC_ALL set to "En_US"  
and LANG
        exists but has no value.  Perl tried to believe you but could  
not.
        Instead, Perl gave up and fell back to the "C" locale, the  
default
        locale that is supposed to work no matter what.  This usually  
means
        your locale settings were wrong, they mention locales your  
system has
        never heard of, or the locale installation in your system has  
problems
        (for example, some system files are broken or missing).  There  
are
        quick and temporary fixes to these problems, as well as more  
thorough
        and lasting fixes.

You should probably read all of the info in "info perllocale" and find  
out what needs to be remedied in your login scripts.
Something in one of those scripts is using perl, and some  
environmental variables are misconfigured somewhere in your account.
