Here is my output which I guess is correct as it works fine for me!

Maybe locale-gen is not working properly at your system as perl says the 
locales are not installed. What are the contents of /usr/lib/locale/?

I am guessing this as your "locale" output looks really weird. It does 
not show the ".utf8" parts. And en_EN also looks strange as it is not a 
valid locale. It should be for instance LANG=en_US.utf8 like in 
02locale. Plus the error messages of missing directories for LC_CTYPE 
LC_MESSAGES and LC_COLLATE.

Your settings in locale.gen and 02locale look correct. Could it be 
possible that your perl scripts or any other home brewed things are 
messing this up!

Daniel
