How do I set LC_ALL and LANG in IIS?
I am trying to run some Perl CGI scripts in IIS. I receive the following message:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = (unset)
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
I figured out that the problem only occurs when I "use" the internal library, but it's really big (using a lot of other things), so I'd rather know where to look. When I run the same script from the command line, the script works just fine. I tried to set "LANG" to "C", then "LC_ALL" to "C", but it had no effect.
Any pointers are appreciated!

The LANG and LC_ALL environment variables are set for your shell, but they are not set for IIS. I'm not an IIS person, but the docs say that IIS is a service and you have to install them ahead of time and then reboot.
Alternatively, you can set these variables as soon as your script starts compiling (and before loading a large library that is causing problems:
BEGIN {
$ ENV {LC_ALL} = ...;
$ ENV {LANG} = ...;
}
Get the values you should be using by looking at the ones you have in your shell.
Good luck,

Your Perl application seems to be sending errors to it in the browser and an error occurs before sending the header.
If you are using a CGI module, the first one can be called use CGI::CARP qw(fatalsToBrowser)
.
In this case, it fatalsToBrowser
does more harm than you need it, so I would advise you to disable it now.
