Set locale to C (Score:1)

by srezic (8057)

I usually workaround the IPC::Run test failure by setting the locale to C. So maybe you can just do the same in the test script, somehow, locally.

  It is a real error, though, not a bug in the tests. If someone uses IPC::Run in a non-C locale it will fail to work correctly: if anything, tests should be added to catch the bug.
  Setting the locale to C somewhere appropriate in IPC::Run itself might be a workaround, but I've no idea how the stringification of $! reacts to changing the locale. I would expect it to be quite system-specific: here (FreeBSD) I can't get perl to give me localized error messages at all (I think the translations may simply not exist, though).
  This is why it should be checking the numeric value :).
