Are you referring to this line :
local( $ENV{PERLIO}, $ENV{LC_ALL}, $ENV{PERL_UTF8_LOCALE} );
(in http://search.cpan.org/src/ABELTJE/Test-Smoke-1.16_15/mktest.pl)
I think it's better to initialize them at their previous values.
This allow to set LC_ALL (for example) to some weird locale (Bulgarian
for example -- grep Changes5.8 for "Bulgarian" if you don't get it)
before running the smoke. (apparently the --locale option is for
another purpose)
