in thread Is there an easy way to get the start date of the current week?

perlfunc also mentions this

This scalar value is not locale dependent but is a Perl builtin. ... To get somewhat similar but locale dependent date strings, set up your locale environment variables appropriately ... use POSIX qw(strftime);

That's a curious way of phrasing it. It seems to suggest that anything that's a Perl builtin isn't locale dependent. But grepping through the perlfunc manual page does reveal builtins that have a locale dependency: lc, lcfirst, (s)printf, sort, uc, ucfirst. And then there are regular expressions.	[reply]
