in reply to locale problems with cgi and apache

When and where do you set these variables? I assume they must be set before locale loads. If you're not setting them in the server's parent process or in httpd.conf before running your program, you might try:

BEGIN
{
    $ENV{LANG}       = 'de_DE@euro';
    $ENV{LC_CTYPE}   = 'de_DE@euro';
    $ENV{LC_COLLATE} = 'POSIX';
}

use locale;

    Thank you for thinking about my problem. I found a solution using the module POSIX and its function setlocale like this:

    &setlocale( LC_CTYPE, 'de_DE@euro');

    Now it works the way I expect it to ...

    Daniel.
