lib/locale.t warnings
Message ID:

I haven't been following the recent locale.t threads very closely, since
they seem to relate to test failures on platforms I don't use.
However, recently, I've started seeing *warnings* generated by locale.t.
For example on today's blead v5.19.9-28-gdca36a0, on Linux I see:
$ ./perl harness run/locale.t
run/locale.t .. 8/19 sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (invalid): No such file or directory
sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (invalid): No such file or directory
run/locale.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=19, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr 0.01 sys + 0.68 cusr 0.09 csys = 0.81 CPU)
Result: PASS
It appears to be this part of the test file:
local $ENV{LC_ALL} = "invalid";
local $ENV{LC_NUMERIC} = "invalid";
local $ENV{LANG} = $_;
# Can't turn off the warnings, so send them to /dev/null
fresh_perl_is(<<'EOF', "$difference", { stderr => "devnull" },
....
And it appears to be that fresh_perl_is() is spawning a shell which then
spawns perl, which runs the test code. But the invalid LC_ALL is seen by
the intervening shell, which is generating the warnings.
I'm not sure what the best workaround is.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
