locale(3p) Perl Programmers Reference Guide locale(3p)
locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for
built-in operations
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
{
use locale;
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
}
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again
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.
