=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
|
|
{
|
|
use locale;
|
|
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
|
|
}
|
|
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX
|
|
locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for regular expressions, and
|
|
LC_COLLATE for string comparison). Each "use locale" or "no locale"
|
|
affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
|
|
|
|
See L<perllocale> for more detailed information on how Perl supports
|
|
locales.
