Description Pierre HABOUZIT 2002-10-02 17:36:28 UTC 
the ebuild of perl contains theese two lines 
,----------------------------------------------- 
    egrep -v "(<built-in>|<command line>)" makefile_orig >makefile 
    egrep -v "(<built-in>|<command line>)" x2p/makefile_orig >x2p/makefile 
`----------------------------------------------- 
 
but the keywords 'built in' and 'command line' are Locale-dependant, and when 
I want to compile perl with LC_ALL=fr_FR@euro, then the perl configuration 
system use 'interne' in stead of 'built-in' for example. 
 
so, the emerge fails. 
 
I think, the only little thing to do is to set LC_ALL to C in the ebuild of 
perl

Took me long enough. The short of it is: You are right, and that's the way it 
is. Perl uses locale settings in post compile on an individual basis, but does 
not compile well without LC_ALL=C. See: 
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perllocale.html

Do you need this specified in the ebuild?

Comment 8 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-22 13:04:26 UTC 
check portage - r8 of 5.6.1 is commited with LC_ALL=C, but is masked. Perl 
needs to build with LC_ALL=C, but will accept internationalization switches 
once installed.
Comment 9 Pierre HABOUZIT 2002-12-11 14:06:56 UTC 
The bug reappaears in the ebuild of perl 5.8.0 !!!
Comment 10 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-11 18:00:09 UTC 
Will fix this.

FYI, perl 5.8 is still masked.

OK, this is in portage and should be making its way out to you shortly. Sorry
about that,

Mike
Comment 12 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-17 11:49:36 UTC 
In portage now.
