On systems where langinfo(CODESET) does not work, you can consider to use
the following emulator routine, which extracts encoding names from
environment variables:

For perl I think that we would want to treat "C" and "POSIX" as meaning
iso-8859-1 rather than ASCII.
The return values of langinfo(CODESET) are unfortunately not yet
standardized. For UTF-8, fortunately, every known POSIX platform uses
"UTF-8" and nothing else, but there is some variation for older
encodings, and the normalization routine
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/norm_charmap.c
Can we have your permision to use those code fragments under perl's license
terms?
