--- Comment #1 from Torsten Schoenfeld <kaf...@gm...> 2013-07-11 16:39:39 UTC ---
This happens because "use Gtk2 -init" calls Gtk2->init which calls the C
function gtk_init which ends up calling setlocale().  This sets up the
environment for locale-specific formatting, among other things.  And
apparently, the hu_HU locale defines the decimal separator to be a comma.

The perl interpreter avoids calling setlocale() by default (unless "use locale"
is used), which explains the different formatting when "use Gtk2 -init" is not
used.  You can call Gtk2->disable_setlocale before Gtk2->init if you do not
want setlocale() to be called.  But notice that if you want to continue to use
the "use Gtk2 -init" shortcut, the Gtk2->disable_setlocale call needs to be in
a BEGIN block.

So, I don't think this is a bug.
