Hi

Locales are working. You must check your enviroment variables. All is
manuals (for locales and perl). I attached a simple bash script to help you.
I tested it with empty, C, pl_PL and ru_RU values for LANG, LC_ALL and
LC_COLLATE variables ( 4^3 cases ).

PS

ru_RU locale has KOI8-R encoding (collating) not iso-8859-5.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -n $LC_ALL ] ; then 

  collating=$LC_ALL

elif [ -n $LC_COLLATE ] ; then 

  collating=$LC_COLLATE

elif [ -n $LANG ] ; then 

  collating=$LANG

else

  collating=C

fi

echo Actual collating is $collating

 Hi all, 
 about one month ago there were posting about locale's usage under
 perl.  I tried to use it for sorting russian, but it did not work for me.
 Is there any additional tricks beside setting LANG=ru_RU; export LANG? I
 used /usr/share/keytables/ru.map for inputing some russian text. Hope this
 corresponds to koi8 coding. 
 
 Thanks forward,
   Eugene.

  I tried it with the following little sorting program:
  
use locale;
  
my @ARRAY;
my $i;
  
while() {
  push @ARRAY, $_;
}
for $i (sort @ARRAY) {
  print $i;
}
  
  and it work perfectly (in my case treating ö like o).  At least perl
  is aware of locales.
