A regression in 5.10.1 breaks sprintf and LC_NUMERIC with numeric constants:
perl -Mlocale -MPOSIX=locale_h -e 'setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "fi_FI") or die;
printf("%s should be %g\n", spr
intf("%g", 2.4), 2.4)'
2.4 should be 2,4
(At least de_DE and sv_SE should also do for the locale.)
The bug is with constant folding, this works:
perl -Mlocale -MPOSIX=locale_h -e 'setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "fi_FI") or die; $in
= 2.4; printf("%s should be
%g\n", sprintf("%g", $in), 2.4)'
2,4 should be 2,4
This is [perl #78632]. One line patch that disables sprintf() constant
folding when locales are involved:
diff --git a/op.c b/op.c

I think this is a possible candidate for squeeze but may not worth an
upload by itself.
