I was reviewing old log and noticed this topic has never been
resolved. Your proposal was to use POSIX::setlocale(), and
Eric's counter-proposal was to mimic what 822-date script does,
doing it by hand without mucking with locales, and the
discussion seemed to have died there. Does this still need to
be addressed?
My gut feeling is that it would probably be less problematic if
we do not muck with locales at all (so drop POSIX::strftime as
well).
So maybe something like this (totally untested)?
