The code in question that sets the locale is:

I'm not sure why you think this would work on Linux either. On my system
here's what I get:
perl -MPOSIX -E 'say POSIX::setlocale(POSIX::LC_TIME())'
en_US.UTF-8
That locale will not make DateTime::Locale happy either.
Of course, this one's relatively easy to make into something DateTime can
handle, whereas the Windows one is _way_ off. Either way, I think you may
need to rethink how you translate the user's locale for DateTime.
I'm not really sure what the best way to do it is besides presenting users
with an explicit choice.
With Windows, someone might want to maintain a master translation list of
Windows names to CLDR names, much like we currently translate timezone
names.
