list of day/month names in all locales myicq 03-09-2008

 Do anyone have an idea about how to output day / month names
in all known locales (for current system).

This can be in array-form, or a simple list, such as

Locale: Danish (DA_DK)
        man, tir, ons...
        jan, feb, mar

Locale: Deutsch (DE)
        mon, die, mit

Etc


I can't find any information about how to list all available
locales on the system, and query month / day names for that locale.
Basically to iterate over all known locales.


Can anyone help ?

Something like

my @locales = qx/locale -a/;

is probably your best bet.

Except, of course.. that I am using Windows. So that command
is not available.

I also need (a bit) of help on how to extract the month /day names
from each locale.

Sorry for this newbie question.

FYI:

c:\> perl -V:d_setlocale
d_setlocale='define';

Version 5.8.8 (Activestate)


Thanks.

Thanks for the information. But my request is for a Windows-based system.

Basically I need to find
        - a list of available locales on my windows box
        - a function that will list availbale day/month names for a given locale

Then I can iterate over all useful locales.
