+Starting in Perl v5.30, Perl detects Turkic locales by their
+behaviour, and seamlessly handles both types; previously only the
+non-Turkic one was supported.  The name of the locale is ignored, if
+your system has a C<tr_TR.UTF-8> locale and it doesn't behave like a
+Turkic locale, perl will treat it like a non-Turkic locale.
 
 Perl continues to support the old non UTF-8 locales as well.  There are
 currently no UTF-8 locales for EBCDIC platforms.
