There was one version of perl (and I suspect it's this one) which
errornously replaced . with , in a variety of locale-related circumstances
when it shouldn't, and as usual it was yours truly to bring this up wth
p5p, who reluctantly fixed it (at a speed hit, of course...). I affects
a few of my modules, too, and there is nothing that can be done about it
really, except switch to a working version.

Since 5.16 reached end-of-life in 2013, you will unlikely see any fixes
for bugs in it, and indeed, either downgrading or upgrading should fix
this problem.
