I seem to have messed up the locale settings on my machine ... here's what perl says when I try to run a script.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.ISO-8859-9" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Similarly any GNOME application gives the following error
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
The original error messages had reported "english" as the locale setting. While experimenting I ended up with the above strings when I stuck an alias for "english" in /etc/locale.aliases. Where do I set up my language environemt? Do I need to restart bash and all? I am using Debian unstable ... the whole thing probably started when I upgraded my glibc and other packages ..

Set these to either C, en_US, or en_GB

The question is where?
I tried editing /etc/environment, but it does not seem to help ... maybe I need to SIGHUP something or logout and login again?

Well, such directory does not exist in Debian. I had to specify the settings in /etc/environment, then logout and login again. That put the correct locale settings. Is there any way of doing this without logging out of the current session?
