7locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations
8
9=head1 SYNOPSIS
10
11 @x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
12 {
13 use locale;
14 @x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
15 }
16 @x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again
17
18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX
21locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for regular expressions, and
22LC_COLLATE for string comparison). Each "use locale" or "no locale"
23affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
24
25See L<perllocale> for more detailed information on how Perl supports
26locales.
