locale(3pm)                           Perl Programmers Reference Guide                           locale(3pm)



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 opera-tions operations
       tions (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.
