This module provides you with objects that will collate 
according to your national character set, provided that the 
\&\s-1POSIX\s0 \fIsetlocale()\fR function is supported on your system.
.PP
You can compare \f(CW$s1\fR and \f(CW$s2\fR above with
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $s1 le $s2
.Ve
.PP
to extract the data itself, you'll need a dereference: $$s1
.PP
This module uses \fIPOSIX::setlocale()\fR. The basic collation conversion is
done by \fIstrxfrm()\fR which terminates at \s-1NUL\s0 characters being a decent C
routine.  \fIcollate_xfrm()\fR handles embedded \s-1NUL\s0 characters gracefully.
.PP
The available locales depend on your operating system; try whether
\&\f(CW\*(C`locale \-a\*(C'\fR shows them or man pages for \*(L"locale\*(R" or \*(L"nlsinfo\*(R" or the
direct approach \f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/nls/loc\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/nls\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/locale\*(C'\fR.  Not all the locales that your vendor supports
are necessarily installed: please consult your operating system's
documentation and possibly your local system administration.  The
locale names are probably something like \f(CW\*(C`xx_XX.(ISO)?8859\-N\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`xx_XX.(ISO)?8859N\*(C'\fR, for example \f(CW\*(C`fr_CH.ISO8859\-1\*(C'\fR is the Swiss (\s-1CH\s0)
variant of French (fr), \s-1ISO\s0 Latin (8859) 1 (\-1) which is the Western
European character set.
