This is reminiscent of another question I saw recently. According to the
doco, it is "just a wrapper for the C nl_langinfo() interface", so
unless the build platform has appropriate support, I18N::Langinfo may
not get installed. But I agree it would be useful to know that. A "Not
supported on this platform" exception perhaps, rather than just being
silently dropped.

Yes it is a core module, so the source code is in the Perl distribution.
Perhaps you could extract and build it on your platform.

I can't recall ever needing to upgrade a core module, but I can imagine
it being difficult if the source is only in the Perl distribution.
