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 againThis 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.
Seeperllocale for more detailed information on how Perl supports locales.
