% touch foo ; LC_ALL=C perl -e 'foreach ("a" .. "z") { system("echo $_ | rm -i foo
2>/dev/null"); die "found $_\n" if ! -e "foo" } die "not found\n"'
found y
% touch foo ; LC_ALL=de perl -e 'foreach ("a" .. "z") { system("echo $_ | rm -i foo
2>/dev/null"); die "found $_\n" if ! -e "foo" } die "not found\n"'
found j
% touch foo ; LC_ALL=fr_FR perl -e 'foreach ("a" .. "z") { system("echo $_ | rm -i foo
2>/dev/null"); die "found $_\n" if ! -e "foo" } die "not found\n"'
found o
% touch foo ; LC_ALL=ar perl -e 'foreach ("a" .. "z") { system("echo $_ | rm -i foo
2>/dev/null"); die "found $_\n" if ! -e "foo" } die "not found\n"'
not found
