Try double quoting $1 when assigning it to the loc variable, so <NL> won't be lost.


If your target is to replace <NL> chars in a variable by commas, try

Code:
totalstr=${loc//$'\n'/,}

or even
Code:
totalstr=${1//$'\n'/,}

locale::language5.18

Locale::Language(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     Locale::Language(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Language;

	  $lang = code2language('en');	      # $lang gets 'English'
	  $code = language2code('French');    # $code gets 'fr'

	  @codes   = all_language_codes();
	  @names   = all_language_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two-
       letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lang = code2language('en','alpha-2');
	  $lang = code2language('en',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha-2, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2
	   This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-1, such as 'he' for Hebrew.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   This is the default code set.

       alpha-3, LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639-2 and 639-5, such as 'heb' for Hebrew.	It also includes
	   additions to this set included in the IANA language registry.

       term, LOCALE_LANG_TERM
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639.

ROUTINES

       code2language ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       language2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       language_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_language_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_language_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::rename_language  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_alias	( NAME )
       Locale::Language::rename_language_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::add_language_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Language::delete_language_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
