title: Multilingual text sorting in Perl, on Windows, using locale
body: <p>I am building a piece of software for sorting book indexes in different languages. It uses Perl, and keys off of the locale. I am developing it on Unix, but it needs to be portable to Windows. Should this work in principle, or by relying on locale, am I barking up the wrong tree? Bottom line, Windows is really where I need this to work, but I am more comfortable developing in my UNIX environment.</p>
