You could leave something to select the locale settings, for those (like me, probably) are prepared to trust the locale enough to have it the default at least. Mind you I recently descended into version check hell when Gtk2 put LC_NUMERIC into a european locale and version numbers in modules got stringized with commas from then on, breaking version.pm's interpretation of "use Module 1.5" and the like in subsequently loaded require'd code. I ended up telling Gtk2 not to do that, but I do grab the LC_NUMERIC environ setting to make a Number::Format so bits explicit output look good (haven't tried to address the occasional bit of number input yet).
