Warning message - Setting locale failed


If I run a perl program, I've started getting the following warning:-

Code:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LC_PAPER = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_ADDRESS = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_MONETARY = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_NUMERIC = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_TELEPHONE = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LC_TIME = "cinnamon.desktop",
	LC_NAME = "en_GB.UTF-8",
	LANG = "C"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
AFAIK, I haven't done anything recently to cause this. Everything runs normally, apart from this error message. I'm using LMDE (basically a Cinnamon version using Debian packages).

Perhaps check out this link on how to configure locale (Debian):

I tried this - but I still get the warnings.
I'm inclined to leave it and hope it will be self-correcting in the distant future.
