I would say it is for all practical purposes impossible: there still

Actually, this reminds me of an idea that has been in a backburner for
me for some time now: could the Perl community, being rather
multinational, come up with a good comprehensive set of locale
definitions? This would e.g. fix the problem of broken/missing
(think Windows) locale definitions. On the other hand, the whole locale
concept is so ugly that it is doubtful whether we should give it more
reason to live... :-)
