(t)csh:
setenv LANG C
setenv LC_CTYPE de_DE.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_MESSAGE de_DE.ISO8859-1

_I'm sure of it_. To make sure I tested it like this. In my case, I've
been setting them up in ${HOME}/.cshrc.

setenv LANG C
setenv LC_CTYPE ja_JP.eucJP
setenv LC_MESSAGE ja_JP.eucJP

And then I wrote *hello.pl*.

        print "Hello World!\n";

The following was the result.

nana > perl hello.pl
Hello World!
nana >
