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 POSIXlocales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for regular expressions, andLC_COLLATE for string comparison). Each ``use locale'' or ``no locale''affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
