How to fix a locale warning from perl in windows 7

Question

I have installed ActivePerl-5.8.9.829-MSWin32-x86-294280 on my windows 7.

Whenever I run any Perl script, I get following error :

Perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
Perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LC_ALL = "C",
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
Perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I tried setting through environment variable and cmd but it didn't help.

Kindly help because my further installations depends on Perl.

I cant. I want specific version for my further installations. — Simi, Feb 05 '15 at 05:01
"I tried setting through environment variable and cmd but it didnt help" What did you do and how did it not work? Did you set a system variable (lower pane in the wretched Environment Variables dialog)? — tripleee, Feb 05 '15 at 06:20
and set LANG=C. In environment variables I added these two variables in user variables. — Simi, Feb 05 '15 at 07:41
Hussain are u saying k I should restore my windows and re instal active perl??? — Simi, Feb 05 '15 at 07:44
I would suggest that you need to - you're running a very old version, and ActiveState only support the newest releases. — Sobrique, Feb 06 '15 at 20:49

I solved that warning by:

Go to control Panel-->Region and Language-->Formats.

In formats tab your Format should be English(United States).
