t/run/locale.t: Remove unnecessary setlocales()

[perl5.git] / t / test.pl

#
# t/test.pl - most of Test::More functionality without the fuss, plus
# has mappings native_to_latin1 and latin1_to_native so that fewer tests
# on non ASCII-ish platforms need to be skipped


# NOTE:
#
# Increment ($x++) has a certain amount of cleverness for things like
#
#   $x = 'zz';
#   $x++; # $x eq 'aaa';
#
# stands more chance of breaking than just a simple
#
#   $x = $x + 1
#
# In this file, we use the latter "Baby Perl" approach, and increment
# will be worked over by t/op/inc.t
