Hi Peter,
glibc or similar c library is at fault, cannot be found or is not one
of the perl expression's build inputs?

I'm seeing :

Jun 22 22:17:56 kbd:
/nix/store/v52qk62nsj4fx9m79755caijcgpndclc-glibc-2.9/bin/locale:
Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
Jun 22 22:17:56 kbd:
/nix/store/v52qk62nsj4fx9m79755caijcgpndclc-glibc-2.9/bin/locale:
Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
Jun 22 22:17:56 kbd:
/nix/store/v52qk62nsj4fx9m79755caijcgpndclc-glibc-2.9/bin/locale:
Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

in /var/log/boot here, so maybe there is something wrong with the c
libraries (glibc) I think.
Are you building perl-5.8 or perl-5.10?
It appears that the perlReal expression (perl-5.10,) Actually
specifies glibc dirs in configureFlags, so looks like it may solve the
problem you mention. If perl-5.8 is what your'e building?

Regards,

Tony
