Package: locales Version: 2.3.6-15 Severity: important Tags: l10n I am developing an app in perl which should handle numeric values depending on the locale. I read the perllocale value, and ran the sample programm from there: #!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX qw(locale_h);
# Get a reference to a hash of locale-dependent info
$locale_values = localeconv();
# Output sorted list of the values
for (sort keys %$locale_values) {
printf "%-20s = %s\n", $_, $locale_values->{$_}
}
I tried it in [EMAIL PROTECTED], as well as in de_DE, I set LANG, LC_ALL,
LC_NUMERIC, but I always get the following output for
decimal_point = .
The decimal point in the german locale is ",", as is correctly set in
mon_decimal_point = ,
Entering numerical values in my locale is quite important, especially
since the key in the numeric keypad is mapped to ",".
I don't know where the error comes from, but as the perllocale man
page clearly states, that brokeness (if present) comes from the
locales package, I report it here. If it is indeed a perl bug, please
reassign.
