+[  3542] By: jhi                                   on 1999/06/17  22:42:03
+        Log: Fixed two long-standing locale bugs.
+             
+             Both problems were related to numeric locale which
+             controls the radix character aka the decimal separator.
+             (1) printf (and sprintf) were resetting the numeric locale to C.
+             (2) Using locale-numerically formatted floating point
+             numbers (e.g. "1,23") together with -w caused warnings about
+             "isn't numeric".  The operations were working fine, though,
+             because atof() was using the local locale.
+             Both problems reported by Stefan Vogtner.
+             
+             Introduced a wrapper for atof() that attempts to convert
+             the string both ways.  This helps Perl to understand
+             numbers like this "4.56" even when using a local locale
+             makes atof() understand only numbers like this "7,89".
+             
+             Remaining related problems, both of which existed before
+             this patch and continue to exist after this patch:
+             (a) The behaviour of print() is _not_ as documented by perllocale.
+             Instead of always using the C locale, print() does use the
+             local locale, just like the *printf() do.  This may be fixable
+             now that switching to-and-fro between locales has been made
+             more consistent, but fixing print() would change existing
+             behaviour.  perllocale is not changed by this patch.
+             (b) If a number has been stringified (say, via "$number") under
+             a local locale, the cached string value persists even under
+             "no locale".  This may or may not be a problem: operations
+             work fine because the original number is still there, but
+             that the string form keeps its locale-ish outlook may be
+             somewhat confusing.
