This site has LANG defined systemwide for another product.  It seems that
it is used also used in "C" born products and libraries too.  Why these are
not C$blah is beyond me.  However, I was able to get past the "LANG" using
$ DEFINE LC_ALL "C"

The problem now is why PERL does not see the strict, warning, or any other
modules.  :(
