me, bugs and 3.14

After upgrading from 3.11 to 3.14 I have the following
Problems...

======================================================================
Using my euro-locales

##### from catalog.cfg
Locale eur_EUR PriceDivide         1.95583
Locale eur_EUR p_cs_precedes       0
Locale eur_EUR currency_symbol     "<IMG src="euro.gif" border="0" align="bottom">"
Locale eur_EUR p_sep_by_space      2
Locale eur_EUR mon_decimal_point   ,
Locale de_DE
Locale de_DE p_cs_precedes  0
Locale de_DE p_sep_by_space 2
#####

the code to display the price in euro does not work anymore (the price
displayed is the same as in DM):

[item-field price]<br>
[setlocale eur_EUR]
  [currency convert=1][item-field price][/currency]<br>
[setlocale]

I noticed that there was a bug fixed in [setlocale], but don't understand
why the old code doesn't work anymore.

======================================================================

I used the following code to calculate a tax of the subtotal (which has to
be displayed on the receipt in germany) of 16% - it just displays 0,00 DM.
As I am no perl-programmer I can not find any mistakes in here. The code was
on the mailinglist once - and I used it. 

[currency][perl interpolate=1]       
 $endbetrag = '[subtotal]';       
 $endbetrag =~ s/\.//g;       
 $endbetrag =~ s/,/\./;       
 $endbetrag =~ s/[a-zA-Z]//g;       
 $endbetrag = $endbetrag-($endbetrag/1.16);       
 $endbetrag       
[/perl][/currency]<br>

I've just tried to shorten this a little using [subtotal noformat=1] and
[calc] instead of [perl], but then I realized that I was not able to use
values like 1.16 (1,16 did not work either) - it seems that MV ignores the
floating-point-values?

Note: The calculation I was going to use was:
[currency]
[calc]'[subtotal noformat=1]'-('[subtotal noformat=1]'/1.16)[/calc]
[/currency]

This should work, shouldn't it?

======================================================================

I always had the problem that the [setlocale] does not seem to switch back
to the defaultlocale:

Gesamt: [subtotal]<br>
[comment] This seems to make problems...
  [setlocale eur_EUR]
    [subtotal]<br>
  [setlocale]
[/comment]

Or am I doing something wrong here?

     Balu (thats it for today - I hope ;-)
