  Sat Aug 29 03:46:07 2015 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Invalid regexp syntax used in egrep call
Makefile.PL has this line: my @locales = `locale -a | egrep -i 'UTF\-?8' | egrep '^(?:$loc)'`; The pattern of the 2nd egrep call looks wrong, (?:...) is a perl extension and not available in standard grep. Probably you have to remove the "?:" bit.

There should be a programmatic way of getting the list of locales (via something like POSIX or Locale::*), without having to grep the filesystem.

Looking at FreeBSD's implementation of "locale -a" (see https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/usr.bin/locale/locale.c#L388 ) it does not seem that there's a OS library function for this task. And a quick scan over perl core Locale:: modules does not reveal a candidate having this functionality.
