It is good that the default behavior of Ruby is to stick to the "C" locale (as in C programs). But Ruby should allow to manipulate locales when programs are correctly written (and need it). I've been hit by the problem of iconv. I'm using a workaround but I find very disappointing that Ruby does not allow a more rubish-way to deal with locales. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1528 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
