I fully agree with you, Slaven.
Any idea how expensive it is to change the locale in a program? I use
the locale to switch between the supported languages (to also have floats,
and error message in the right language) of a website. Will there be some
caching of set-ups? And do we need to preload languages before the fork()
Never noticed performance problems... but computers are quite fast...
By the way, I already have seen problems with the JSON module, which
formatted floats with comma's... that breaks the syntax. This will hurt
applications, which are usually not on CPAN.
