Summary: Determine the locale encoding  
      
    
    In many applications it's wise to let Perl use Unicode for the strings it
    processes. Most of the interfaces Perl has to the outside world are still
    byte based. Programs therefore need to decode byte strings that enter the
    program from the outside and encode them again on the way out.
    
    The POSIX locale system is used to specify both the language conventions
    requested by the user and the preferred character set to consume and
    output. The 'Encode::Locale' module looks up the charset and encoding
    (called a CODESET in the locale jargon) and arranges for the the Encode
    manpage module to know this encoding under the name "locale". It means
    bytes obtained from the environment can be converted to Unicode strings by
    calling 'Encode::encode(locale => $bytes)' and converted back again with
    'Encode::decode(locale => $string)'.
    
    Where file systems interfaces pass file names in and out of the program we
    also need care. The trend is for operating systems to use a fixed file
    encoding that don't actually depend on the locale; and this module
    determines the most appropriate encoding for file names. The the Encode
    manpage module will know this encoding under the name "locale_fs". For
    traditional Unix systems this will be an alias to the same encoding as
    "locale".
    
    For programs running in a terminal window (called a "Console" on some
    systems) the "locale" encoding is usually a good choice for what to expect
    as input and output. Some systems allows us to query the encoding set for
    the terminal and 'Encode::Locale' will do that if available and make these
    encodings known under the 'Encode' aliases "console_in" and "console_out".
    For systems where we can't determine the terminal encoding these will be
    aliased as the same encoding as "locale". The advice is to use "console_in"
    for input known to come from the terminal and "console_out" for output to
    the terminal.
    
    In addition to arranging for various Encode aliases the following functions
    and variables are provided:
    
    * decode_argv( )
    
    * decode_argv( Encode::FB_CROAK )
    
      This will decode the command line arguments to perl (the '@ARGV' array)
      in-place.
    
      The function will by default replace characters that can't be decoded by
      "\x{FFFD}", the Unicode replacement character.
    
      Any argument provided is passed as CHECK to underlying Encode::decode()
      call. Pass the value 'Encode::FB_CROAK' to have the decoding croak if not
      all the command line arguments can be decoded. See the Encode/"Handling
      Malformed Data" manpage for details on other options for CHECK.
    
    * env( $uni_key )
    
    * env( $uni_key => $uni_value )
    
      Interface to get/set environment variables. Returns the current value as
      a Unicode string. The $uni_key and $uni_value arguments are expected to
      be Unicode strings as well. Passing 'undef' as $uni_value deletes the
      environment variable named $uni_key.
    
      The returned value will have the characters that can't be decoded
      replaced by "\x{FFFD}", the Unicode replacement character.
    
      There is no interface to request alternative CHECK behavior as for
      decode_argv(). If you need that you need to call encode/decode yourself.
      For example:
    
          my $key = Encode::encode(locale => $uni_key, Encode::FB_CROAK);
          my $uni_value = Encode::decode(locale => $ENV{$key}, Encode::FB_CROAK);
    
    * reinit( )
    
    * reinit( $encoding )
    
      Reinitialize the encodings from the locale. You want to call this
      function if you changed anything in the environment that might influence
      the locale.
    
      This function will croak if the determined encoding isn't recognized by
      the Encode module.
    
      With argument force $ENCODING_... variables to set to the given value.
    
    * $ENCODING_LOCALE
    
      The encoding name determined to be suitable for the current locale. the
      Encode manpage know this encoding as "locale".
    
    * $ENCODING_LOCALE_FS
    
      The encoding name determined to be suitable for file system interfaces
      involving file names. the Encode manpage know this encoding as
      "locale_fs".
    
    * $ENCODING_CONSOLE_IN
    
    * $ENCODING_CONSOLE_OUT
    
      The encodings to be used for reading and writing output to the a console.
      the Encode manpage know these encodings as "console_in" and
      "console_out".
