Re: POSIX::strftime encoding

[squentin]

For what it's worth, I did the following :

use POSIX qw/setlocale LC_TIME strftime/;
use Encode;
my ($strftime_encoding)= setlocale(LC_TIME)=~m#\.([^@]+)#;
sub strftime2    # try to return an utf8 value from strftime
{    $strftime_encoding ? Encode::decode($strftime_encoding, &strftime
+) : &strftime;
}

It works if the encoding is specified in the locale, which seems to be usually the case when using utf8.

And if the encoding is not in the locale, I keep the returned string as is, it won't work with all locales, but at least it works with fr_FR.

It's not perfect, but it's better than before, and simple.
