[mv] Locale problems

[Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@nic.fi>]

******    message to minivend-users from Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@nic.fi>     ******

Locales (used here mainly in representing price information) work fine
when I start server, but after reconfiguring a catalog with
$VENDROOT/bin/minivend --reconfigure=<catalog> breaks things somehow.
Price information doesn't get read correctly, This doesn't seem to have
anything to do with locale database, removing LocaleDatabase directive
doesn't seem to have any effect on that.

The default locale is fi_FI. 

And another thing: we use comma instead of dot in e. g. US to separate
decimals, but in products database prices usually have dots, e. g.
1000.01. At the end Minivend converts this dot to comma, which is good
thing, but still if you want to order non-integer amount of something
you have to use dots which is a bit confusing.

Both of these happens on Minivend 4.04, but AFAIR also on 3.14 too.

Any ideas?

(I have Perl 5.005_03 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.1.)

Thanks.
