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

Those are definitely ignored if you don't use locale. That's about all I know.

use open ':std', ':locale'; is useful if you want to use the locale's encoding (and nothing else) for STD*. ref: open
