+\& WARNING: starting from the Perl version 5.003_06
+\& the I18N::Collate interface for comparing 8\-bit scalar data
+\& according to the current locale
+\&
+\& HAS BEEN DEPRECATED
+\&
+\& That is, please do not use it anymore for any new applications
+\& and please migrate the old applications away from it because its
+\& functionality was integrated into the Perl core language in the
+\& release 5.003_06.
+\&
+\& See the perllocale manual page for further information.

+.PP
+This module provides you with objects that will collate
+according to your national character set, provided that the
+POSIX \fBsetlocale()\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 \fBPOSIX::setlocale()\fR. The basic collation conversion is
+done by \fBstrxfrm()\fR which terminates at NUL characters being a decent C
+routine. \fBcollate_xfrm()\fR handles embedded NUL 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 "locale" or "nlsinfo" 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 (CH)
+variant of French (fr), ISO Latin (8859) 1 (\-1) which is the Western
+European character set.
