way outside the opener, but related:

How will(/are) shell LANG/LC_* variables be handled? I'm 90% convinced that is sanest to ignore those.

Esp. this heresy:

There's that painful POSIXishly sick but "officially correct" problem of many utf8 locales having suddenly rather strange collating sequences, making a mess of the most trivial shell patterns like e.g. A-Z* in bash for e.g. de_DE.utf8 or en_US.utf8. Seeing a A-Z* glob suddenly match thisshouldnotmatchbutdoesgeethanxposix nearly made me return to bed hoping for the nightmare to stop. It required finding the antidote of LC_COLLATE=C to recover.

Now while I place some trust that regexes won't fall victim to that collation malsequencing insanity, what about perl's glob patterns?
