+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).")
