+SUMMARY="Determine the locale encoding"
+DESCRIPTION="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 Encode 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 Encode \
+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."
