  48 <p>This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX
  49 locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for regular expressions, and
  50 LC_COLLATE for string comparison).  Each ``use locale'' or ``no locale''
  51 affects statements to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.</p>
  52 <p>See <a href="file://C|\msysgit\mingw\html/pod/perllocale.html">the perllocale manpage</a> for more detailed information on how Perl supports
  53 locales.</p>
