Perl now knows about +most modern commercially important ones, and skips much of the work when +a program tries to change case in them (like C<ucfirst()>) or match +caselessly (C<qr//i>). This will speed up a program, such as a web +server, that can operate on multiple languages, while operating on a +caseless one. =back |
