Also ... before someone asks.  I wrote a shell script for someone who
had trouble with it ... the reason was that his account had LANG=en_CA
and mine had LANG=C.

What is the problem ?

Well, in C (i.e. ASCII) the colation order is case-dependent and in
en_CA it is case-independent ... so 'sort' gives different results.

I'm sure there are warnings buried in perldoc somewhere ...
