NAME

locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations

SYNOPSIS

     @x = sort @y;       # ASCII sorting order
     {
         use locale;
         @x = sort @y;   # Locale-defined sorting order
     }
     @x = sort @y;       # ASCII sorting order again
 
 

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 perllocale for more detailed information on how Perl supports locales.
