There's a man page on the subject: perllocale

Update: It seems localeconv is very limited in Windows, especially compared to accessing the registry directly. Looks like a bug to me. 

use POSIX qw( localeconv );

$lconv = localeconv();
printf  "%20s : %s\n", $_, $lconv->{ $_ } for keys %{ $lconv };
