export LANG=C before you install... better yet, set LANG=C to be your 
default locale (in RH it's in /etc/sysconfig/i18n)...


Thanks Alex..  I tried your suggestion that and still get the warning...
I've re-install one of my previous versions 4-43.7 and the warning persists, so I'm pretty sure it's a local problem and not something with the MS install script.  Then I noticed that version 4-44.6 was current (could not find the announcement), so I installed it...  Same warning.

I ran v4-44.6 briefly and observed no errors, the perl warning appears only near the end of the install so is the warning only cosmetic??

thanks
