Why don&#180;t you share this perl-programm with us?

I thought that it was the "comma" too, but the question is: How do I
switch the comma off?  I&#180;ve tried 
   Locale de_DE mon_thousands_sep "."
in the catalog.cfg. This sets it to a "." of course, but
   Locale de_DE mon_thousands_sep "" 
or
   Locale de_DE mon_thousands_sep 
does not switch it off?

I have problems using (see my euro-Locale suggestions some days before):
----- snipp -----
[subtotal] <!-- displayed in de_DE-Style (default) as usual -->
[setlocale eur_EUR] <!-- want to display sublocal in euro -->
   [subtotal] <!-- works -->
   [currency convert=1][subtotal][/currency] <!-- calculates wrong -->
[setlocale]

[subtotal] <!-- this subtotal should be displayed in de_DE (my default
locale) -->
----- snipp -----

First problem is: It seems that the locale is not set to the default
with [setlocale]. All other [item-price], [item-subtotal] on the same
page are displayed in euro until I switch back to [setlocale de_DE] by
hand. 

And the second problem is that [currency convert=1] also has problems
with the ",".
