You'll have to talk to the hosting people or change it on your system.
Oh, and just changing the LANG var won't work, it has to be changed in
the configuration files and the box rebooted.  Assuming both boxen are
Red Hat, RH did something very low-level that screws things up.  There
was a long discussion of this over at the linuxgazette.net.  We never
figured out what they did, but it affects perl (can I mention that
language in here? :-) output as well.
