回答1:

This command will give you a list of locales:

locale -a

From a Perl script you can execute the same using

system("locale -a");

回答2:

If you want the list of all supported locales, in my Debian distro they are in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED , so you could do:

system("cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED");

回答3:

my @locale_list = `locale -a`;
chomp(@locale_list);

http://perldoc.perl.org/perllocale.html#Finding-locales:

For locales available in your system, consult also setlocale(3) to see whether it leads to the list of available locales (search for the SEE ALSO section). If that fails, try the following command lines:

locale -a
nlsinfo
ls /usr/lib/nls/loc
ls /usr/lib/locale
ls /usr/lib/nls
ls /usr/share/locale
