5locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 @x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
10 {
11 use locale;
12 @x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
13 }
14 @x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again

16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX
19locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for regular expressions, and
20LC_COLLATE for string comparison). Each "use locale" or "no locale"
21affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
