I18N::Langinfo not documented as not available on MSWin32 #14571
Comments
From @karenetheridgeI18N::Langinfo is a core module, but apparently not available on Windows. It would be extremely helpful for module authors if this fact were noted in its documentation, so as to avoid the unfortunate situation of someone adding it as a prerequisite to their distribution, and therefore preventing installation on MSWin32. (As well, could it be explained *why* it's not available? Perhaps a workaround can be found? or some interfaces stubbed out rather than the entire module not being installed?) |

This also raises another question -- do we have *anywhere* where we document |

I18N::Langinfo is not built on Windows because nl_langinfo() does not exist. If you manually build and install it, it will just croak at runtime: SV* Cheers, |
