perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (“C”)

Every time I debootstrap a new Debian server for a XenU domain, I get lots of verbose output from Perl scripts:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_IE.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
The fix is simple:
# apt-get install locales # dpkg-reconfigure locales
and select your locales.
