You need to set the LC_ALL and LANG environment variables to C:

C:\>set LC_ALL=C
C:\>set LANG=C
C:\>perl x.pl 

If you want to make this permanent, or work from your IDE, go to Control Panel->System and Security->System->Advanced System Settings, and under the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. Then, add LC_ALL and LANG to the list. You might need to restart your IDE if you make changes to these variables.
