 Sadly, even though the calling interface for setlocale() has been
-standardized, the names of the locales have not.  The form of the name
-is usually I<language_country>B</>I<territory>B<.>I<codeset>, but the
+standardized, the names of the locales and the directories where
+the configuration is, have not.  The basic form of the name is
+I<language_country/territory>B<.>I<codeset>, but the
 latter parts are not always present.
 
 Two special locales are worth particular mention: "C" and "POSIX".

-In certain system environments the operating system's locale support is
-broken and cannot be fixed or used by Perl.  Such deficiencies can and
