This is perfectly normal. Unfortunately. The problem is that Mac OS X 10.4 ships with more locale definitions than previous versions, and eu_ES, one of the new locales, has a really weird (read, buggy) value for the decimal separator -- "\' ". This confuses perl into believing that a number using this string in place of a decimal point is two numbers, and a test which runs through various features of every installed locale fails. It's in the perl bug database as #35895, and I reported it to Apple as their bug ID# 4139653. But I have not had any feedback from Apple so far.
