It looks like something similar has been tried as the convert method
in Inkscape.pm has:
    # Workaround for locale-related problems
    #FIXME: I think there's something about this needing to be set
to the system locale on windows
    local $ENV{LC_NUMERIC} = 'C';

It is followed by:
    # Make sure Inkscape can't find any X display.
    # Probably not possible to do anything like this on Windows,
which is sad
    # because inkscape will then sometimes throw errors in a dialog
box instead
    # of exiting and showing us something on stdout/stderr
    local $ENV{DISPLAY} = '';

I can verify that it does still throw dialog boxes in Windows
because the Inkscape bug that throws the "gc: Too many heaps" dialog
struck me again once yesterday
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168914 ).
