Actually, the perllocale page seems to say that setlocale is for
switching locales at run time, but ‘use locale’ is necessary for
enabling it. It’s a bit vague, though. This is what perl actually does:
$ ./perl -Ilib -MPOSIX -e 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "nl_NL"); print
sprintf("%f", $_=2.5)."\n";'
2,500000
$ ./perl -Ilib -MPOSIX -e 'setlocale(LC_ALL, "nl_NL"); print
sprintf("%f", 2.5)."\n";'
2.500000
