[MacPerl] locale on Mac

[bart.mediamind@Ping.be (Bart Lateur)]

I have tried to convert a set of all upercase text to lowercase, using
something like:

	print lc $_;

However, this failed to do it's job on special characters like "…" and
"†", which remained in uppercase. (In case it got mangled: these are
uppercase letters with "umlaut" AKA "dieresis").

For what I'"v read, this might be remedied by proper "locale" settings.
Can I fix it?

Why is locale setting not set to standard Mac character set, by default?


	Bart.
