Oh yes, this bit me very early as well.  This is something that is
also "a work in progress"... not all apps (eg, perl) know how to
handle the new LANG settings.  This is a very well-known problem
(and would be somewhere in bugzilla for a long time).

Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change the default setting to en_US,
ie, take out the utf-8 stuff (eg, "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" becomes
"LANG=en_US").  Then (especially after a reboot) have some peace :)

You mean: stay on track with the added functionality that comes with
updated versions of the apps?  Yes, that can certainly provide
strong motivation :)
