Re^2: Difference in sort order between Solaris and Linux

Hi,

To your point "...If I remove &use locale& from the Perl code, I can see sort behaving differently...". Have you tried to call your script on both environments this way:

LANG=C perl sortscript.pl
[download]

What is the outcome in this case?

Hi, Ok, just tried that. There's no difference in the outcome. To make sure I also double checked that the locale settings in the shell are set to the right iso8859 value.	[reply]

Now it would be interesting to see whether the commandline sort behaves similar. Put the words in a file per line and do a `LANG=C sort file` on both machines. McA	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Interesting test indeed. The result is exactly the same as it is when using Perl. So I expect one of the two OS-es not playing nicely with the standards.	[reply]
