 Perl module to 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 is
-still byte based. Programs therefore needs 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 arrange for the Encode module
-to know this encoding under the name "locale". It means bytes obtained

+The Encode::Locale module looks up the charset and encoding (called
+a CODESET in the locale jargon) and arrange 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".
