This doesn't answer any of your questions (sorry) but IIRC on p5p it was found that fa_IR caused quite a lot of "fun", as it used a character for the decimal separator that was multibyte. (certainly for standard numerics, which is what core perl was concerned with. No idea about monetary values, and as I don't understand any Farsi or have any Farsi fonts installed, it's not going really to help if I have a look.) So you may wish to install fa_IR and test with that. Nicholas Clark -- Even better than the real thing: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
