There is a port that deals with this.  Eventually, you won't need it.  

I'm afraid I've forgotten all the programs I had to reinstall, perl was
one of them and might even be a quick fix.  If not

/usr/ports/misc/localedata

Afte installing set the following in your shell's rc file

export PATH_LOCALE=/usr/loacl/share/compat/locale

(for Bourne style shells)

The other option is to be the daring one and map libc.so.5 to libc.so.6
in /etc/libmap.conf.  This seems like it has a possibility of breaking
something, but I used it for a few days without problem.

you care about is lots of orgasms.

How they're less private when they're in front of my friends?
