The Windows docs at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_setlocale.2c_._wsetlocale.asp
say:
|setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );| Sets the locale to the default, which is the user-default ANSI code page obtained from
theoperating system.
Does libperl call this only at interpreter startup? If so, maybe we
should probably save out the settings and then restore them after the
interpreter has started.
