Hi, Monks.

I think somebody ask this question before me but i can't find it :-( (trying Google and Perlmonks Search). So i ask you for help.

I need to capitalize (using uc) some russian text. I try this code but it does't work :-(

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use locale;
use POSIX qw(locale_h);

my $locale = "ru_RU.CP-1251"; #Russian Windows locale (as i think)
my $new_locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
die "Could't set locale" if ($new_locale ne $locale);

print uc("some_string_in_russian"), "\n";

And this code dies :-(. Can you show me the right way to use all benefits of uc, lc, lcfirst, ucfirst in russian copy of Windows?
