Package: perl-base
Version: 5.6.1-8.2
Perl's sprintf ignores LC_NUMERIC and use "." (instead of "," in this case).
Both bash and libc does the right thing but not perl. This in spite of
perlfunc(1) stating "If 'use locale' is in effect, the character used for the
decimal point in formatted real numbers is affected by the LC_NUMERIC locale.
See perllocale".
$ locale
LANG=sv_SE
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE"
LC_TIME="sv_SE"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE"
LC_PAPER="sv_SE"
LC_NAME="sv_SE"
LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE"
LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE"
LC_ALL=sv_SE
$ printf "%f\n" 0,123
0,123000
$ cat ltest.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
main() {
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
printf("%f\n", 0.123);
}
$ cc -o ltest ltest.c && ./ltest
0,123000
$ perl -e 'use locale; print(sprintf("%f", 0.123) . "\n" );'
0.123000

The documentation has been improved with perl 5.10.0, and now states:
If "use locale" is in effect, and POSIX::setlocale() has been called,
the character used for the decimal separator in formatted floating point
numbers is affected by the LC_NUMERIC locale. See perllocale and POSIX.

Closing accordingly.
