Another interface for querying locale-dependent information is the
I18N::Langinfo::langinfo() function, available at least in UNIX-like
systems and VMS.
-The following example will import the langinfo() function itself
-(implicitly) and (explicitly) three string constants: a string for the
-abbreviated first day of the week (the numbering starts from Sunday =
-1) and two strings for the affirmative and negative answers for a
-yes/no question in the current locale.

- use I18N::Langinfo qw(ABDAY_1 YESSTR NOSTR);
+ use I18N::Langinfo qw(langinfo ABDAY_1 YESSTR NOSTR);
- print ABDAY_1, "? [", YESSTR, "/", NOSTR, "] ";
+ my ($abday_1, $yesstr, $nostr) = map { langinfo } qw(ABDAY_1 YESSTR NOSTR);
-In other words, in the "C" (or English) locale the above will print:

- Sun? [y/n]
