International Components for Unicode (C/C++) 4.0 (Default branch)
ICU provides a Unicode implementation, with functions for formatting numbers, dates, times, and currencies (according to locale conventions, transliteration, and parsing text in those formats). It provides flexible patterns for formatting messages, where the pattern determines the order of the variable parts of the messages, and the format for each of those variables. These patterns can be stored in resource files for translation to different languages. Included are more than 100 codepage converters for interaction with non-unicode systems. License: MIT/X Consortium License Changes:
This is a major release with new features, new APIs, and many bugfixes in data and code. Unicode 5.1 is supported, and CLDR 1.6 includes many improvements. Supported calendars now include Chinese, Coptic, and Ethiopic calendars. New APIs were added such as add/removeLikelySubtags. The charset converter file size was improved. This release includes Date Interval Formatting and Improved Plural support. Security improvements include fixes for CVE-2007-4770, CVE-2007-4771, and CVS-2008-1036.Image

NAME

       locale - Perl pragma to use or avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations

SYNOPSIS

	   @x = sort @y;       # Unicode sorting order
	   {
	       use locale;
	       @x = sort @y;   # Locale-defined sorting order
	   }
	   @x = sort @y;       # Unicode sorting order again

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
", 12345.67'	 # Locale-defined formatting
	   @x = sort @y;		 # Unicode-defined sorting order.
					 # (Note that you will get better
					 # results using Unicode::Collate.)

       See perllocale for more detailed information on how Perl supports locales.
