NAME

PerlIO::locale - PerlIO layer to use the encoding of the current locale

SYNOPSIS

use PerlIO::locale;
open my $filehandle, '<:locale', $filename or die $!;

DESCRIPTION

This is mostly a per-filehandle version of the open pragma, when used under the form

use open ':locale';

The encoding for the opened file will be set to the encoding corresponding to the locale currently in effect, if perl can guess it.
