~s [Perl 5.5.650] "use locale" effectless?
This is a bug report for perl from gomar@mindless.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.5.650.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The following snippet of code (ISO8859-1 charset):

  use locale;
  print int('Ü' =~ /ü/i);

together with appropriate environment settings for LC_ALL (=de_DE) and
LANG (=de) prints 1 (expected result) with Perl 5.00503 and 0 with Perl 
5.5.650.  I've tried other locale settings too, such as de_DE.ISO8859-1 
etc., yet without any improvements.  Since I'm not aware of any error 
on my part or a misconfiguration of my system, I suppose this to be a 
bug.  Again, I haven't been experiencing any problems with respect to 
locale settings before, neither with Perl 5.00503 and lower, nor with 
other programs.  (Note: Both Perl 5.00503 and 5.5.650 are linked against
the same versions of libc and libnsl, in case that might matter.)
