Has anybody considered internationalizing perl? It seems that there are a few
people active in this forum that work with X/Open compliant systems. With the
recent emphasis on internationalized programs, does it make sense that perl
become internationalized?

The main reason that I bring this up is because I am finding it desirable to
use perl in conjunction with a number of other programs which have been
internationalized already. I would like to be able to make the perl scripts
I write useful to the audience which uses the associated programs, but without
internationalization, this goal may not be realized very easily.

Any opinions?
