All right...
I want to use locales under Win2k. I've tried just setting the locales with use locale; This gives me extra characters, which are NOT polish ones (which I need). Specifying the standard with setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "pl"); ..didn't work...
MAN gives the url: ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/WG15-collection There's a collection of locale definition files, but I have no idea how to merge one into Windows. I need locales to properly sort(), s/// and cmp.

the test:   use locale; $a="Pérl"; $b = uc($a); print $b; ...returns:PéRL

the test2: 

for ($x = 0;$x < 255;$x++){
    $_ = chr($x);
    if (/\w/){ print "$_ ";}
}

This one will print You all known word characters... when You've got the PL locale, you should be getting also '³ ó œ æ Ÿ ¿ ñ'

Mbr> Thanks!
