I have come to believe that this is probably the best way forward. That
is, revert the $! change, and tell people who need it to use the new
global variable which will decode as best it can on the given platform
based on the locale in effect.
In any event, there should be uniform treatment of $! and $^E.
That means that a parallel variable should be provided for $^E.
Does anyone know if the strings for the platforms that have separate $^E
strings return those in the current locale or not?
These include vms, win32, dos, and os/2.
