NAME¶
locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for built-in operationsSYNOPSIS¶
@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 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.2010-12-30 | perl v5.14.2 |
