Hello,

I want to add tests for non-C locales (to check grouping in numfmt).

My test script is written in Perl, based on "tests/misc/wc.pl" .

It starts with:
===
    @ENV{qw(LANGUAGE LANG LC_ALL)} = ('C') x 3;
===

Which is fine for most of the tests.

How do I add tests for non-C locale, in a safe manner (I need a locale that I 
know which thousand-group separator character is used, but I can't know in 
advanced if it's installed on the testing machine).

There is special handling of the fr_FR locale
to check that it's available etc.
To see uses of this in both sh and pl scripts:

git grep LOCALE_FR_UTF8

cheers,
Pádraig.
