I reverted the patch so that warnings were on before looking, and the only locales that showed errors were validly problematic. The C locale was tested but did not warn. > > Hmm. Below is an example of what I got before you disabled the warnings. This on Windows 7 with CCTYPE=MSVC110 (Visual Studio 2012). As far as I know it's a bog standard U.S. installation of Windows 7 Pro and it does, for some reason, think "Locale 'C' may not work well." Let me know if there's anything you want to look at further related to this. > This is strange. Try this one liner and see if you get the warning. perl -Ilib -MPOSIX -le 'use locale; print setlocale(LC_ALL, "C")' I can't fathom how you wouldn't get it, based on the output you sent below, But I can't fathom how it's not showing up in the test suite either, as I think the C locale is used in many places, nor can I see why MS would be doing this. It would mean another violation of the POSIX standard, and in a recent version of their software to boot.
