Hello, I am currently writing several programs that, for one reason or another, need to be localized in various sections. On Solaris, I can see what choices I have by running 'locale -a'. However, all my attempts to find a similar function on FreeBSD 3.4 have failed. I would have searched the mailing list archives, but they are, of course, currently down. Also, my search through the handbook also only showed examples for Russian and German encoding (section 12). For my specific problem, I need access to the following three character sets: es_ES.ISO8859-1 pt.PT.ISO8859-1 en_US.ISO8859-1 And within my program (Perl), I need to use the setlocale() function imported from the POSIX module (actually, from the locale_h header file). If I run this on FreeBSD, will the program die on me due to the apparent lack of a locale function? If one is available, where can I get it from? And finally, if these character sets are not installed on my system, what is the best way to go about getting them on there? Any help or insight would be appreciated, so thanks!
