Thanks for the clarification, Mike.

What can be done to prevent e.g. Perl scripts from using a
decimal comma instead a decimal point when creating PostScript
stuff is to insert the statement

	$ENV{LANG} = "C";

near the beginning of the script. With C or C++ programs,
it is a little bit trickier.
