Either that, or make sure YESSTR/NOSTR (from I18N::Langinfo) are usefully populated and use those. (They seemed generally not to be based on the discussion on #debian-devel yesterday). Another solution (which I mentioned yesterday) is using something like: $ye = langinfo(YESEXPR); if (langinfo(YESSTR) =~ /^$) { for ('a' .. 'z') { $y = $_ if m/$ye/ }; } else { $y = langinfo(YESSTR); } and then use $y as the yes string. Similar code for «no», obviously. This is not pretty, but would work around the problem here. -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`. UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are : :' : `. `' `-
