What do you mean by "should be in current"?

I specifically asked you about this issue a few days ago, even with a patch to test out for people who are having problems, but haven't heard back anything yet. The issue is still on hold and not in "current" as far as I am concerned.

    I was reviewing old log and noticed this topic has never been
    resolved.  Your proposal was to use POSIX::setlocale(), and
    Eric's counter-proposal was to mimic what 822-date script does,
    doing it by hand without mucking with locales, and the
    discussion seemed to have died there.  Does this still need to
    be addressed?

    My gut feeling is that it would probably be less problematic if
    we do not muck with locales at all (so drop POSIX::strftime as
    well).

    So maybe something like this (totally untested)?
