We are discussing two different issues.  One is that John has a broken
set of LC vars.  Perl complains: it is an autoconf-user problem, not a
configure-user problem.  Because of this, I realized we might have a
more general problem, that needed to be addressed for configure-users.

You clearly answered that nope.  So I'm fixing only the Perl apps:
they will unset the LC vars that you addressed in configure.

Thanks!
