The user's shell environment has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and LC_ALL is unset. Which environment variable is most likely causing this behavior?

   • ALC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 and LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 are set in the user's environment.
   • BLC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 is set in the user's environment.
   • CThe Perl script has its own locale settings.
