If you get this warning when running perl scripts:

# perl -v
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = "(unset)",
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
	LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
 
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

then to solve the problem add the following line to ~/.bashrc or to /etc/profile:

export LC_ALL=C

If you add previous line to /etc/profile make sure it it at the end of the file.

To solve the following warning message when you login via ssh:

root@10.0.0.15's password:
Last login: Fri Jun 26 18:29:43 2015 from 10.0.0.7
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory

Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and add the following lines:

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US"
