I also like to have fun with scissors. I almost forgot. The reason why I `mix' locale settings, is because I want a decimal '.' and the default RADIX_SEP in Dutch is ',' If have not found a way to get it to work as I want Date: YYYY-MM-DD or DD-MM-YYYY Time: HH:MM (not AM/PM) Number: 12345.67 (or for fun 12 345.67, with space as triad_sep) Paper: A4 Days: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fi, Sat, Sun Months: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec List: , (not ; as in Dutch or German) I must admit that Windows was better in /something/. The above was not too hard to achieve in regional settings. -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, SuSE 10.3, 11.0, and 11.1, AIX 5.2, and Cygwin. http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
