How to fix a locale setting warning from Perl?

perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset

It is simple fix in Ubuntu. You have to generate the Locales from scratch, running the following commands from the command line:

sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

This should create the locales and then re-configure them.
