[Nms-cgi-devel] FW: [Nms-cgi-support] Non-US date formats (was "Nobody")

[Paul R. <pa...@ro...>]

This came up on the support list this morning.

Any thoughts, positive or negative, on adding an extended config operation
to support locales, at least for dates?  They should be present in any
standard 5.004 or later Perl install.  I realize locales are troublesome,
but in this limited context they could be quite useful.

We could simply have a (normally '' or undef) $locale variable.  If defined
and nonempty, we setlocale as appropriate.  If setlocale() fails, we could
warn, fatal, log, ignore, whatever.

If the proper locale support is installed on your system (see the locale or
setlocale man pages), the following might work for you:

Change the line that reads:

	use POSIX qw(strftime);
to

	use POSIX qw(strftime locale_h);
	use locale;

Then change:

	my $date = strftime($date_fmt, localtime);

to

	setlocale(LC_TIME, 'no_NO');
	my $date = strftime($date_fmt, localtime);

On my system, this changes our default date output to:

	tirsdag, april 30, 2002 at 08:44:43

Hi Nick
Sorry to be bothering you with this but do you know how to change the dates
(January, April...)
To my language (norwegan)?
There don`t seem to be anything in the program about that.

If you add an 'email' input to the form, that will be used as the
