Hi Massimo,

Can you explain why you chose this version rather than the perl provided
by the netlabs repo?

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

According to hobbes, this is one KO's ports.  I would not expect it to
work exactly the same as the netlabs builds or Paul's builds.  KO's ports
differ because he has his own set of modifications.

Did you read the readme.os2 carefully?  The errors imply you have not
properly adapted your scripts to match what KO's perl needs.

I recommend you use

  perl -V

to help you figure out what you have done wrong.

>@set PERL_LIBBATH=L:/Perl/lib; d:/perl/lib
>@set PERLLIB_PREFIX=L:/Perl/lib; d:/perl/lib

Based on the errors you experienced, these are probably wrong.

Steven
