I did run locale-gen, not because I knew exactly what it did but because it 
was suggested on the Wiki.

One more thing I didn't say -

From another suggestion on the Debian Wiki, I had added lines in /etc/profile 
exporting en_CA as the value for LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LANGUAGE.

Now locale started reporting it couldn't find the file 'en_CA'.

So I tried one more thing.

I changed export LC_ALL=en_CA to export LC_ALL=en_CA.UTF-8  and error messages 
from perl and locale have stopped.

This doesn't explain why the LC_ALL has to be set when it isn't for the Etch 
Debian  Desktop but I accept that the annoying messages have gone away. Now 
to try it on my first Net-Install system.

Thanks for the quick response Jamon.

Cheerio
