=head1 NAME
locale - Perl pragma to use or avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations
=head1 SYNOPSIS
@x = sort @y; # Unicode sorting order
{
use locale;
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
}
@x = sort @y; # Unicode sorting order again
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX
locales for built-in operations (for example, LC_CTYPE for regular
expressions, LC_COLLATE for string comparison, and LC_NUMERIC for number
formatting). Each "use locale" or "no locale"
affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
Starting in Perl 5.16, a hybrid mode for this pragma is available,
use locale ':not_characters';
which enables only the portions of locales that don't affect the character
set (that is, all except LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE). This is useful when mixing
Unicode and locales, including UTF-8 locales.
use locale ':not_characters';
use open ":locale"; # Convert I/O to/from Unicode
use POSIX qw(locale_h); # Import the LC_ALL constant
setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); # Required for the next statement
# to take effect
printf "%.2f\n", 12345.67' # Locale-defined formatting
@x = sort @y; # Unicode-defined sorting order.
# (Note that you will get better
# results using Unicode::Collate.)
See L<perllocale> for more detailed information on how Perl supports
locales.

# A separate bit is used for each of the two forms of the pragma, as they are
# mostly independent, and interact with each other and the unicode_strings
# feature. This allows for fast determination of which one(s) of the three
# are to be used at any given point, and no code has to be written to deal
# with coming in and out of scopes--it falls automatically out from the hint
# handling
