Ok. I had first looked at the syntax used by the bug reporter.
But I'm a bit confused. The `ltrace' report that you have shown
traces only the first library calls of Perl by itself.
I have tried to figure out if setlocale was actually called. The answer is
yes :
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR ltrace -e setlocale perl -w -MPOSIX -le 'use locale; $value_passed = setlocale(LC_ALL,"de_DE"); print $value_passed; print $ENV{"LC_ALL"};'
setlocale(6, "") = "fr_FR"
setlocale(0, NULL) = "fr_FR"
setlocale(3, NULL) = "fr_FR"
setlocale(1, NULL) = "fr_FR"
setlocale(1, "C") = "C"
de_DE
fr_FR
+++ exited (status 0) +++
But it looks like if the new value was not "exported". The process seems to be
made for the call of setlocale by itself, but not for the "parent" process.
Weird.
