That locale will not make DateTime::Locale happy either.
Seems okay with it:
perl -MDateTime -MPOSIX -E 'my $dt = DateTime->now; $dt->set(locale =>
POSIX::setlocale( POSIX::LC_TIME() ) ); say $dt->locale'
DateTime::Locale::en_US=HASH(0x7fc90a297dd8)
Heh, go figure. I think I wrote that code, but forgot about it. It strips
off any trailing character set in the locale code.
With Windows, someone might want to maintain a master translation list
of Windows names to CLDR names, much like we currently translate
timezone names.
I found Win32::Locale, which seems to do what I need it to.
Ah, cool. Looking at it I suspect it's probably out of date and missing
some codes that might be used in Windows since 2004, but it's better than
nothing.
I should add a mention of this to the DateTime::Locale docs.
