POSIX::setlocale fails on system without locales (Android)

[dex4er]

I'm getting an error on Android. This system has poor support for locales, so the Perl is usually compiled with -Ui_locale flag.

t/Plack-Middleware/simple_logger.t ................. 1/? 
#   Failed test at t/Plack-Middleware/simple_logger.t line 24.
#                   'Your vendor has not defined POSIX macro LC_ALL, used at /storage/sdcard0/home/.cpanm/work/1389472371.9142/Plack-1.0030/blib/lib/Plack/Middleware/SimpleLogger.pm line 32
# '

# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
t/Plack-Middleware/simple_logger.t ................. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/2 subtests 

It is built cleanly with this patch.

Unfortunately, Plack still doesn't work well on Android because there is some other problem which test units didn't detect:

$ plackup -e 'sub {[200, [$^O], []]}' -E test
Use of uninitialized value $v in concatenation (.) or string at /data/perl/lib/site_perl/5.18.2/HTTP/Server/PSGI.pm line 204.

returns

$ telnet htc-one-s 5000

I'll provide proper patch if I track this problem.

Oh god, I'm stupid :)

$ plackup -e 'sub {[200, [], [$^O]]}'

and

$ GET http://htc-one-s:5000/
linux

It means that Plack DOES work on Android correctly :)

Another attempt to fix this issue is to check $Config{d_setocale} and call POSIX::setlocale if it is true.

See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=92051 for details.

I understand and support the intent of the patch, but am not sure if i support the three uses of eval when theoretically only one is necessary.

[dex4er]

There can be more clean way. I'll provide proper fixes real soon.

[dex4er]

More safe handling of missing locales applied. Regards.

Thank you!
